Sri Lanka coach dilemma to be resolved, name of coach shortlisted
Sri Lanka Cricket revealed names of four men to succeed head coach, Trevor Bayliss, who resigned after the ICC 2011 World Cup earlier this month.
While former Australian batsman, Stuart Law, has been handed the reins on a provisional basis for the expedition of England later this year, Tom http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Moody-c77690, who has coached the side before, Moody's ex- assistant, Trevor Penney, and, former England batsman, Matthew
Maynard, are the other three men contesting for the position of Sri Lanka’s coach.
Former Australian coach, John http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 skipper, Marvan Atapattu, has been exposed as the new batting coach.
Sri Lanka Cricket interim committee chief, DS de Silva, said that they have given a chance to handle the team on the England tour. .
He added that they knew about a couple of months ago that Bayliss was retiring so they publicized on the internet job portals and in print media as well, both internationally and indigenously. Nine candidates came for the vacancy from which they shortlisted
five.
He also said that everybody showed interest and they have already interviewed a couple of them on the telephone.
They wrote to Buchanan and he gave his terms and conditions for the contract but they cannot afford his terms and conditions.
DS de Silva said:
"We have dropped him from the list. Moody is due to come back to us. When he was here we had a long chat with him and he showed some interest in the job.
We are going to ask the other two - Penney and Maynard - to come and give a presentation. It will take another week or so. We couldn't wait for that long so we decided to appoint Law for the England tour. Until the tour is over we won't appoint a head coach”.
Maynard, who played four tests and 14 One Day Internationals (ODIs) during 1988 to 2000 was Glamorgan’s head of cricket but stepped down after an incongruity with the English county in late 2010.
