Australia have announced that assistant coach Steve Rixon has left the set-up as the team continue to make changes to their coaching structure.

Head coach Darren Lehmann has claimed that Rixon, who featured in 13 Tests for Australia during his career as a wicketkeeper, will not be part of the Aussies' plans going forward.

"I've taken the opportunity to look at our current coaching structure and the levels of support I feel we need moving into the future," Lehmann said in a statement.

"I've mentioned previously that I believe our players can really benefit from more dedicated skill-based training, which means more regular support from technical experts to help work on specific areas of performance. This will see various coaches and experts in their field working with the team as and when it is needed."

Australia recently confirmed that former captain Shane Warne will do some coaching with their slow bowlers ahead of the Twenty20 World Cup in Bangladesh this March.
