Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) may have a new national coach from Australia.
There have been at least three former cricketers from Australia, who have shown interest to take over the Head Coach post in Sri Lanka, it is reliably learnt.
“Few Australian players have shown interest to be the coach, but we have not finalized with anyone yet”, the source, speaking exclusively, said.
Without elaborating more, the source gave at least three names, who have come forward to take up the new assignment.
“I can confirm that Dean Jones, Jason Gillespie and Andrew McDonald have shown interest”, the source added further.
Jones, the former top order Australian batsman has played more international matches (52 Tests, and 164 ODIs), than the other two.
The 42-year-old former right-handed fast bowler Gillespie has experience of 169 international matches (Tests-71, ODIs- 97 and T-20-1), whereas McDonald, the Victoria coach has played only four Tests.
