Anton Roux (born 5 June 1981) is a former South African cricketer who is the current fielding coach of the Sri Lanka Men's National Cricket Team.
Roux was born in New York City to South African parents. [2] He moved back to South Africa aged five, playing both underage representative cricket and football, and later attended Pretoria Boys High School. [3]
At South African domestic level, Roux played for Northerns. An off-spinner and competent lower-order batsman, he made his first-class and List-A debut during the 2007–08 season. [4] He retired at the end of the following season to concentrate on his coaching career. [3]
In the 2005 and 2006 Dutch seasons, Roux served as playing coach of the Amstelveen-based Amsterdamsche Cricket Club (ACC), which plays in the top-level Topklasse competition. During his playing career in South Africa, he held a coaching position with the University of Pretoria's academy, and he later served as head coach of the Northerns Cricket Academy, following his retirement from playing. [3]
In July 2011, Roux was appointed head coach of the Pietermaritzburg-based KwaZulu-Natal Inland team for the 2011–12 season, which played in both the List-A and first-class provincial competitions. [5]
At the end of the 2011–12 season, Roux returned to the Netherlands to again coach ACC. Roux had been involved in the coaching set-up of the Dutch national team since 2011, [6] and was later made a full-time assistant coach and statistical analyst. [7] After Peter Drinnen vacated the head coach position in October 2013, Roux took over, initially on an interim basis. [8] He coached the team at the 2014 World Twenty20 and the 2016 World Twenty20, amongst others. [9]
In August 2016, Roux took up a position as assistant coach of New Zealand provincial team, Otago, where fellow South African, Rob Walter, served as head coach. [10] It was during this period that he was also called up as bowling coach to the New Zealand XI and assistant coach to New Zealand A. [11] [12] [13]
Roux was named as pathway coach of English county, Nottinghamshire, in March 2020, working alongside head coach, Peter Moores. [14]
In March 2022, Roux was appointed fielding coach of the Sri Lankan Men's National Team. [15]
