All-local coaching staff for national set-up?

Naveed Nawaz, Avishka Gunawardena and Jehan Mubarak have been recommended for top coaching positions within the national cricket set-up but it remains to be seen whether the Executive Committee of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) will approve them.

The Board appointed Rumesh Ratnayake as Interim Head Coach of the national team following Mickey Arthur’s exit in December 2021. They decided for an extensive overhaul in the coaching structure on the recommendation of the Technical Advisory Committee and Mahela Jayawardena, SLC Consultant.
