Tullamarine has appointed Devin Ratnasinghe as coach for the next Victorian Turf Cricket Association season.
The Demons announced on Monday that Ratnasinghe would take over from Peter Labbad, who stepped into coach the side this season having previously coached the club before.
“With a wealth of experience and a true passion for the game, Devin is ready to help take our players to new heights,” the Demons said. “His unique blend of technical expertise, leadership, and commitment to excellence will be a tremendous asset to TCC.
“Having been part of the club for the past three years as a player and being involved in some coaching sessions last seasons, Devin is already deeply connected with our club’s values and team members. His familiarity with TCC’s code of conduct and policies will ensure a seamless transition and continuity.”
The club said Ratnasinghe brings extensive experience coaching at junior and senior level, deep knowledge of cricket strategies and player development and a strong commitment to nurturing both individual and team growth.
He will kick off a pre-season program in preparation for next season and will also lead the club’s junior coaching academy.
“We are thrilled to have Devin lead our training programs and guide our talented players into this exciting new chapter for the club,” the club said. “We can’t wait to see the positive impact he’ll make in the upcoming season.”
The Demons managed to avoid relegation in the recently finished season, finishing with three wins in the Steve McNamara Shield.
