Australia wicketkeeper Brad Haddin is set to take on a coaching role, according to national team coach Darren Lehmann.
Haddin announced his retirement from international and first-class cricket earlier in September, following Australia's Ashes loss in England.
Eager to keep the 37-year-old in the game, Lehmann confirmed that Haddin would go into coaching.
"We're going to try and keep him involved," he told Adelaide radio station FIVEaa.
"We think he's a very important part of what we started and we love how he goes about it and what he does and we want him to impart that knowledge on the younger kids.
"He's been a fantastic servant, deserved all the accolades that came his way, so for us we can't afford to lose those blokes from the game.
"We need him to pass on his knowledge to the next generation, which will stand us in good stead.
"He'll do some work coaching-wise with New South Wales and then we're going to get him involved with some of the [under] 19s and 17s Australian programmes.
"I may even be able to take him away with me occasionally, so it's a great chance for him to move forward in the next stage of his life and career."
Haddin's retirement came in a period of transition for the Test team, with Michael Clarke, Shane Watson, Chris Rogers and Ryan Harris among those calling it quits.
With those departures, Australia named a relatively inexperienced squad for their upcoming two-Test series in Bangladesh.
Lehmann said 28-year-old Usman Khawaja, a veteran of nine Tests, would get his chance.
"It's up to [Khawaja] now," he said.
"He has to just go and play and let his technique and his results and experience do the rest.
"He'll get a good run at it. He's been in and out of the side a little bit and only played a few games here and there, but to give him a good run at it and see how he goes would be exciting for the coaching group but also exciting for him and the team.
"If [he] nails down that spot it will be fantastic for us going forward."
