The Melbourne Renegades have appointed Australia women's assistant coach Gavan Twining as their new head coach for the upcoming WBBL season.
Seamless Transition: Twining will link up with the Renegades following Australia's series against Bangladesh and New Zealand in October, returning to his national role once the WBBL season concludes.
National Connections: He has worked closely with Renegades and Australia captain Sophie Molineux within the national team environment.
Interim Coverage: Renegades high-performance manager Clint McKay will oversee the squad during the T20 Spring Challenge prior to Twining's arrival. Predecessor: Twining replaces Simon Helmot, who stepped down during the off-season to pursue other franchise coaching opportunities.
Structure & Setup: The Renegades are operating under a temporary Cricket Australia-managed model for the 2026–27 season amid ongoing debates regarding Big Bash privatization, while Cricket Victoria has ended its relationship with the dual-license model. BBL Coach: Luke Ronchi will coach the Renegades' men's team in the BBL.
Cricket Victoria have ended their relationship with the set-up having confirmed they would sell their second BBL license and operate one side. Their initial plans, which created chaos earlier this year, had been to implement those changes for the 2026-27 season but there remains uncertainty over the sale process.
