Former Australia batsman Adam Voges has been named as the new coach of Western Australia and the Perth Scorchers after Justin Langer stood down to take the reigns of the national side, officials said on Thursday.

The 38-year-old had successful a stint as the captain of Scorchers, leading them to two of their three Big Bash League titles.

Voges, who played 20 Tests, scoring 1,485 runs at 62, including five centuries, finished his 15-year playing career after this season's BBL.

"We already have strong foundations in WA and I'm looking forward to building on them, the values, the structures and the people are all excellent," he said.

"The high-performance staff are some of the best in the country, even in the world."

Voges also had English county stints with Hampshire, Nottinghamshire and Middlesex along with a spell in the Indian Premier League with the Rajasthan Royals.
