Warwickshire bowling coach Barnes to leave club

Stuart Barnes joined the Bears in January 2023 following the departure of Matt Mason to England Women

Warwickshire bowling coach Stuart Barnes will leave the club at the end of the season.

He joined the club ahead of the 2023 season under former first-team coach Mark Robinson and worked closely with new head coach Ian Westwood.

Barnes, who worked with the fast-bowling unit at Edgbaston, previously held coaching roles with England Lions, Cricket Ireland and Bangladesh, as well as Gloucestershire and Somerset.

Barnes said: "I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with Warwickshire over the past three seasons," he told the club website.

"It's been a privilege to work with such talented players and staff, and in particular to help young fast bowlers understand what it takes to perform at the professional level and to represent the Bears."
