(Picture: Getty Images for Surrey CCC)Gareth Batty has finally been confirmed as Surrey’s permanent head coach after winning the County Championship during his interim spell in charge this summer.
Batty joined Surrey’s coaching staff full-time a year ago after announcing his playing retirement, initially as an assistant, but was then asked to fill the void as head coach in January after predecessor Vikram Solanki quit to take up a post in the IPL with the newly-formed Gujarat Titans.
