Australia has kept the faith in Shelley Nitschke, signing the women's national coach to a new three-year deal ahead of the 2026 Twenty20 World Cup.
Nitschke's contract extension comes despite the world's No.1-ranked side failing to make the final at either of the most recent 50-over or T20 World Cups.
Last year's unsuccessful title defence at the 50-over World Cup marked the first time since 2017 Australia failed to hold either trophy.
