“I’m delighted to be joining Glamorgan as head coach for the coming season. I’ve got a good idea of how the club works having spent time with Welsh Fire over the years,” said Dawson.

“I’m looking forward to getting involved with the players and coaches at the club and building on the success achieved in the 50-over competition last season.”

Dawson is currently part of the England Lions’ coaching staff in Australia and will officially start his interim head coach role in March following completion of his duties at the Women’s Premier League in India.

Mark Wallace, Glamorgan’s director of cricket, said: “It’s great news for the club that we have been able to appoint a coach of Richard Dawson’s standing and quality as interim head coach until the end of the season.

“We were keen to move quickly and get someone in place for the 2025 season and we see Richard as the perfect fit to develop the squad and continue to move us forward this season.”
