Signs of SLC deploying again the services of a foreign coach

The attention of the new officials of Sri Lanka Cricket has been drawn to appoint once more a foreign coach for our cricket team. In this regard

talks have commenced among the officials of the new SLC it is reported. However it  has not been decided yet as to who would be made our national cricket coach.

The Sri Lanka cricket team is presently touring New Zealand and once they return in a few days time this decision would be arrived at. After the head coach of the Sri Lanka cricket team former cricketer Mavan Atapattu gave his resignation Jerome Jayaratne was appointed as the head coach and he is presently in New Zealand with the Sri Lanka team.

It needs to be mentioned that the appointment of a Sri Lankan as the head coach of the cricket team had drawn some concern to many quarters. These were of the view that our nation coach should be appropriately an overseas person.
