About Russell Domingo

Born 1974. Russell Domingo is a South African cricketer.

As South African cricket team coach In June 2011, Domingo was appointed assistant coach of the senior national team, under the newly appointed senior coach Gary Kirsten. In December 2012, he took over from Kirsten as South Africa's Twenty20 International coach, with his first series being against New Zealand. At the time of his appointment, he and New Zealand coach Mike Hesson were the only national coaches not to have played professionally. In May 2013, Kirsten announced that he would resign as national coach at the end of July, with Domingo subsequently being announced as his replacement. He has since led South Africa to the semi-finals of the 2014 World Twenty20 and 2015 World Cup, and received a two-year contract extension in September 2014. In August 2017 CSA announced the appointment of Ottis Gibson as the new head coach of the Proteas, subsequently relegating Domingo to coaching the SA A team. He was also appointed head coach of the Pretoria Mavericks for the T20 GLOBAL LEAGUE in South Africa.

As head coach of the Bangladesh Cricket Team Domingo was named Bangladesh head coach on 17 August 2019. He signed for two years. BCB president Nazmul Hassan said that Domingo's long-term planning and full-time availability played a big part in their decision. Domingo had been the only candidate to have travelled to Dhaka for his interview, impressing Hassan and some of the directors.

Under his coaching, Bangladesh registered their first ever T20I win over India in 2019. In May 2021, Bangladesh recorded their first ever bilateral series win against Sri Lanka. In August 2021, Bangladesh won a T20I series 4–1 against Australia, which was their first ever series win in any format against Australia. The following month, Bangladesh also defeated New Zealand 3–2, securing their first ever T20I series win against New Zealand.

In January 2022, Bangladesh won the first Test against New Zealand by eight wickets. It was Bangladesh's first win in Test cricket against New Zealand, and their first win in international cricket against New Zealand in New Zealand. In March 2022, Bangladesh beat South Africa 2–1 in an ODI series in South Africa, which was their first ever series win in South Africa.

In December 2022, Domingo resigned as the Bangladesh head coach. He informed the BCB of his decision on Tuesday, just two days after Bangladesh's home Test series against India - which the hosts lost 2–0 - ended.

Coach of the Netherlands national team In 2023, he was appointed as assistant coach of the Netherlands national cricket team for their South Africa and Zimbabwe tour.
