Following the lack of an offer from the ECB,he left his post at the end of his contract in December 2005,and in May 2006 became the bowling coach for the Australian national team. The England Cricket Board (ECB) was criticised for letting him move as he was seen as a key figure in England's 2005 Ashes success. [2] Following England's loss of the first test in The Ashes in Australia in 2006,former England captain Tony Greig commented that England missed Cooley. [3] After England had lost the fourth test,Cooley commented that the English side has lost its "intensity",and was surprised at the team bringing back injured players like Ashley Giles who had little recent form. [4]
At the end of the 2010–11 Ashes series,Cooley will become head coach of Cricket Australia's Centre of Excellence in Brisbane. [5]
Cooley left Cricket Australia in 2021 and joined the BCCI where he is responsible for Coaching and setting up the National Pace Bowling Program.
