Anton Roux height - How tall is Anton Roux?

Roux resigned as coach of the Netherlands in August 2016, instead taking up a position as assistant coach of Otago (under head coach Rob Walter, another South African).

Roux was born in New York City to South African parents. He moved back to South Africa aged five, playing both underage representative cricket and football, and later attended Pretoria Boys High School. At South African domestic level, Roux played for Northerns (previously Northern Transvaal), a second-tier team providing players to the top-level Titans franchise. An off-spinner and competent lower-order batsman, he made his first-class debut during the 2007–08 season of the Provincial Three-Day Challenge, playing two matches. In his second match, against Namibia, he took 3/30 in Namibia's second innings, his best figures at first-class level. Roux also played four limited-overs matches in that season's Provincial One-Day Challenge, including the competition's final, in which Northerns lost to Gauteng. He retired at the end of the following season to concentrate on his coaching career, having played two further first-class games.

For 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. In July 2011, Roux was appointed head coach of the Pietermaritzburg-based KwaZulu-Natal Inland team for the 2011–12 season, which plays in both the one-day and three-day provincial competitions. At the end of the season, he returned to the Netherlands to again coach ACC, and was replaced in the KZN Inland role by Grant Morgan. Roux had been involved in coaching the Dutch national side since 2011, and was later made a full-time assistant coach and statistical analyst. After Peter Drinnen left the position in October 2013, Roux took over as senior coach of the Netherlands, initially on an acting basis. He coached the team at the 2013 World Twenty20 Qualifier, 2014 World Cup Qualifier, the 2014 World Twenty20, 2015 World Twenty20 Qualifier, and the 2016 World Twenty20, amongst others.
