He was appointed as the assistant coach of the Sydney Sixers ahead of the 2021–22 Big Bash League season. Just hours prior to the start of the challenger knockout match against the Adelaide Strikers during the 2021–22 BBL season, he was formally added to the lineup of Sydney Sixers as the local replacement player for Josh Philippe who was tested positive for COVID-19.[5][6] Lenton was formally added to the BBL's local replacement player pool before being included to the Sydney Sixers squad due to the non availability of wicket-keepers in the original pool of players.[7]
