Dan Salpietro describes himself as “a second-team stalwart” when looking back on his state and domestic playing career in Australia some decade-and-a-half ago. With that in mind, he seems like an ideal appointment as Lancashire’s new twos coach.
As an all-rounder, Salpietro played five times for the Victoria and the Adelaide Strikers before moving into coaching, with Tasmania his first stop.
His state playing career ended in Tasmania’s second team, or otherwise known as their Futures League team, in late 2016 alongside Tim Paine, who was not long away from taking over as Australia’s Test captain. He also played in the same team as Ben McDermott, who will this summer join Lancashire as a Vitality Blast overseas player.
