Lehmann makes coaching comeback after sandpaper-gate

Sydney, Thursday: Darren Lehmann was named coach of the Big Bash League’s Brisbane Heat Thursday, his first cricket role since quitting the Australian team over the sandpaper cheating scandal.

Lehmann said returning to the Heat, the team he steered to a Big Bash title in 2013, was a chance to “come back to where it all started” after his bruising experience with the national team.

“I think you learn a lot about yourself during the dark times and for me it’s all about enjoying the game,” he told reporters.
