The 43-year-old will take up the position of high performance coach when his contract with the Bangladesh Cricket Board expires in June after citing family reasons for his decision to return home.

"The opportunity to return home to be closer with family and work in Brisbane with Australia's established and emerging talent was too good to pass up," he said.

"As a member of the first intake of the former Cricket Academy, I'm a passionate believer in the COE and look forward to working with Pat Howard, Belinda Clark, Troy Cooley and the rest of the high performance team, as well as the state and territory associations, to deliver programs that will develop and prepare players for the challenge of achieving sustained international success.

Ongoing review

"I thank the Bangladesh Cricket Board and the Bangladesh players for their support and will be watching their progress with keen interest over the coming months and years."

Law's new role was created as part of the ongoing review of the team performance structure and he will assist COE head coach Cooley.

COE manager Clark said: "Stuart is a current international coach with recent demonstrable success and we're fortunate to have secured his services in the Australian Cricket landscape.

"He has experienced success with two international teams, periods that included an ICC Cricket World Cup Final appearance with Sri Lanka in 2011 and Bangladesh's first Asia Cup Final last month.

"His knowledge of the sub-continent and England, and his experience with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, will bring a global perspective to the COE."

Queenslander Law made just one Test appearance for Australia but appeared in 54 one-day internationals. He also had successful spells in English country cricket with Essex and Lancashire.
