Shipperd, who has previously coached Tasmania and Victoria, guiding the latter to four Shield titles, has been in charge of Sydney Sixers for the last eight seasons, which brought back-to-back titles in 2019-2020 and 2020-21. He will now combine both roles.

NSW finished bottom of the Sheffield Shield, and are currently on a record run of 12 matches without a win, and fifth in the Marsh Cup with two wins in seven matches.

"I have enjoyed immensely my involvement with NSW cricket over the past eight seasons," Shipperd said. "I feel I can make a contribution to this current playing group as they embark on an exciting future out of our new home, Cricket Central.

"The NSW cricket system remains strong and enjoys a storied history of excellence. I am drawn to providing my experiences to meet the expectations of that history."

"While Greg's record as a senior coach speaks for itself, his passion for delivering success for NSW is evident," Mail said. "We discussed the role with a number of highly credentialed domestic and international coaches, and it quickly became apparent Greg was the right person to lead us forward.

"I'm looking forward to building the coaching team around Greg and working closely with him. No one here is happy with our recent performances, and we are determined to do what it takes to improve."
