Rumesh Ratnayake: The cricket coach for all seasons

Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) should be thankful that they have in Rumesh Ratnayake a coach who is ready to take up the challenge at every beck and call.

Ratnayake is currently playing the role of interim head coach of the Sri Lanka cricket team until SLC appoints a suitable successor to Mickey Arthur. It is not a role that Ratnayake is unfamiliar with, but one that he has time and again obliged SLC with whenever they get into awkward situations like they have at present.
