Kyle Coetzer

Kyle Coetzer joined Durham as Women’s Batting coach, having fulfilled a similar role alongside Danielle Hazell for the Northern Diamonds over the past two seasons.

The Durham Academy graduate enjoyed a dazzling playing career, earning an MBE for services to cricket in 2019 and being named Associate Nation Player of the Decade by the ICC the following year, before retiring as Scotland’s all-time leading run scorer.

Beginning his domestic career with Durham in 2004, he compiled over 3000 runs in all formats for the club, with five centuries and 13 fifties across eight seasons.

The former Scotland captain was part of Scotland Women’s coaching set-up in 2022 before ending his playing career in early 2023 and has since been part of Welsh Fire Women’s coaching department, helping them to successive top-three finishes in The Hundred.
