Vettori has a decent track record, will Australia consider him for the head coach role?

The former New Zealand left-arm spinner is presently with the Royal Challengers Bangalore(RCB) as it's head coach, but is also involved with the Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash League and the Rajshahi Kings in the Bangladesh Premier League.

Vettori's style of coaching got a thumbs-up from current Indian skipper Virat Kohli, who reportedly suggested his name to take over as the coach of India when they were on the lookout of one after the World T20 in 2016.

The 2016 IPL season saw RCB make a later comeback in the League phase of the edition, winning a sequence of matches en route to the final, where they lost to the Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Australia could consider Vettori for the role when they decide to take the call.
