SLC wants Hathurusingha as head coach of the team

Monitoring Desk

COLOMBO: President Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), Thilanga Sumathipala has said that Chandika Hathurusinghe would be a great a coach and fit for the team.

Sri Lanka have finally confirmed their interest in having Chandika Hathurusingha as head coach after the position was vacant in June earlier this year when Graham Ford resigned from the post of head coach.

Hathurusingha has previously admitted to a desire to give back to Sri Lankan cricket but was contracted with the Bangladesh Cricket Board as their head coach. He might have occupied the post until the end of the 2019 World Cup, but in October, as Bangladesh were touring South Africa, Hathurusingha sent in his resignation to the BCB and cut all ties with the board.
