About Michael Di Venuto

  • Michael James Di Venuto (born 12 December 1973) is an Australian cricket coach and former first-class cricketer who represented both Australia (in One Day Internationals) and Italy.
  • The bulk of his first-class cricket career was spent playing for Tasmanian Tigers.
  • After retiring from representative cricket in Australia, he continued playing for Durham County Cricket Club till July 2012, when he announced retirement from County Cricket.
  • He has also previously played cricket in England for Derbyshire and Sussex.
  • A left hand opening batsman, his form for Tasmania throughout the mid-1990s earned him a call up for the Australian national cricket team in the One Day International arena, although after nine games he was dropped.
  • Like some of his contemporary Tasmanian teammates such as Jamie Cox, Dene Hills, and Shaun Young, Di Venuto can be considered unlucky to have not had a more successful international career, as he was playing at a time when the Australian national cricket team was highly dominant, and difficult to earn selection for.
  • After retiring from Durham, he was appointed Australia's full-time batting coach by head coach Mickey Arthur, and is now head coach of Surrey.
