Former Glamorgan Director of Cricket Matthew Maynard is in line to make a return to the county almost four years after walking out due to a behind-the-scenes dispute.

Newly installed Head Coach Toby Radford, who joined Glamorgan on Friday in place of Australian Matthew Mott, has revealed that he now hopes Maynard will rejoin the Swalec Stadium next season in his back-room coaching staff on a part time basis.

Since leaving Glamorgan in 2010 Maynard has plied his trade all over the world, most notably in South Africa, whilst also having to deal with the death of his 23-year-old son Tom in 2012, in whose memory he now manages the Tom Maynard Trust.

His return will see him join up with fellow ex-players Robert Croft and Steve Watkin in Radford's coaching set-up, a move that the Radford believes will add a important blend of history and experience.
