Queensland Cricket CEO Terry Svenson: Former Australia head coach Darren Lehmann has resigned from men's assistant coaching roles at Brisbane Heat and Queensland to take up a full-time radio commentary job for the upcoming summer of cricket in Australia.

Lehmann had a year left on his contract as an assistant coach with Heat and Queensland. He had been part of the coaching team that helped the Heat win last season's BBL title, their first since he led them to their inaugural victory in 2012-13.

Lehmann was expected to continue under new head coach Johan Botha, following Wade Seccombe's departure earlier this year. However, just before the 2024-25 season, Lehmann chose to step down to take on a commentary role with ABC Sport, where he will cover the Border-Gavaskar series and the BBL.
