Shane John Jurgensen (born 28 April 1976 in Redcliffe, Queensland) is an Australian cricketer, who has played for Queensland, but has also played for Western Australia, Tasmania, and the Sussex Cricket Board in English county cricket.
A talented fast bowler who rose to prominence on the Queensland club scene in the early 1990s, Shane Jurgensen failed to find a place in his home state's side due to the strength of their bowling attack. He moved to Western Australia, where he managed to make his first class debut. After a couple of seasons with Western Australia, he again moved, this time south to Tasmania, where he played some of his best cricket for state, including a hat-trick against New South Wales, and a record 11 wickets in the 2002-03 Pura Cup final against his home side, Queensland.
Following his success with Tasmania, he returned to Queensland, finally fulfilling his dream of representing his home state. However, he failed to get regular call-ups for the state, and missed all of the 2005-06 season, although still retained his state contract.
He was appointed as the Bowling Coach for the Bangladesh National Side in October 2011. Before joining Bangladesh team he worked as a bowling coach for New Zealand between 2008 and 2010. After the main coach of Bangladesh Richard Pybus left the team in October 2012, he was appointed as interim head coach of Bangladesh. During his first assignment, Bangladesh beat the West Indies by 3-2 in ODI. They however suffered loss in test series by 2-0.
In February 2013 Bangladesh Cricket Control Board confirmed him as the head coach of the Bangladesh. Under his guidance, Bangladesh white washed New Zealand 3-0 in the ODI series when New Zealand came to visit Bangladesh in October 2013. The test series was drawn 0-0. New Zealand won the one off T-20 match.
