New head coaches have been named for The Good Home Taranaki Cricket’s senior representative cricket teams ahead of the 2022/23 season.
The Good Home Taranaki Men will be coached by Chris Coombe, while the Bartercard Taranaki Women will be guided by Debu Banik.
Coombe, who is also Taranaki Cricket’s Director of Cricket, steps into the men’s role after a successful season with the Taranaki Women’s team last season in which they finished second in the Central Districts Mike Shrimpton Trophy competition.
Meanwhile Banik, TCA’s Performance Coach, has previously headed up the men’s programme for the past eight seasons.
Taranaki Cricket General Manager Ryan Evans said the shakeup to the coaching staff was about keeping things fresh and bringing different perspectives and strengths to the teams.
“Eight years is a long tenure for any coach to have with a sports team, so we knew the time was right for a change with the men,” he said.
“We were really happy with the work Chris did with the women’s side last year, so we’re looking forward to seeing what he can produce with a different team to work with.”
Banik was the perfect fit for a women’s team on the rise and with an exciting programme on the way for the season, Evans said.
“Debu has an outstanding record of coaching the top talent in this region, with names like Will Young and Tom Bruce top of the list. We knew with Chris moving on to the men’s team we needed an experienced coach to continue on the work he had started, and we’re really pleased we can continue to grow the women’s side with a coach of Debu’s standing.”
The teams’ schedules are set for confirmation in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, Coombe has called for Taranaki clubs to nominate players for the first pre-season training squad practices and fitness sessions, starting this month. ... See MoreSee Less

An exciting new partnership between Bartercard New Zealand and the Taranaki Cricket Association will see Bartercard take on the naming rights sponsorship of the Taranaki Women’s team for the next three seasons.
The Bartercard Taranaki Women will play alongside other Central Districts cricket associations this summer for the Mike Shrimpton Trophy, a competition they finished second in last summer.
Last season Bartercard partnered with Taranaki Cricket’s junior representative programme and Taranaki & Manawatu Regional Manager Kim Olsen said Bartercard had thoroughly enjoyed partnering with the junior teams but had seen an opportunity to take things to the next level.
“We’re thrilled to be part of the future growth of women’s cricket in Taranaki and see a mutually beneficial collaboration over the next three years.”
Taranaki Cricket General manager Ryan Evans said it was a positive step as TCA was working hard to bolster the women’s programme in the wake of New Zealand Cricket’s recent moves towards pay parity for female athletes and off the back of last year’s Cricket World Cup and the popularity of Super Smash double-header matches featuring the CD Hinds team at Pukekura Park.
“Bartercard are known around the country for their strong history of supporting sports, and we’re really pleased they’ve chosen to extend that support to our Taranaki Women’s side.
“We’re expecting big things ahead, with an exciting schedule and some top young players coming through off the back of a good campaign last summer. It’s a great time to be a women cricketer in Taranaki and we can’t wait to hit the field later this year with Bartercard’s support behind us.”
While the team’s schedule is still to be confirmed, it is expected to include a ground-breaking trip to the South Island for the team, with Nelson having joined the competition last season.
