July 25 (CRICKETNMORE) - Former Sri Lankan batsman Hashan Tillakaratne has been roped in by the Sri Lanka as a temporary batting coach for the home series against India. His role with the Lankan side will be at least until the end of the Indian series.
Talking about Tillakratne's appointment, Sri Lanka Cricket manager Asanka Gurusinha expressed confidence that the former cricketer's experience would be beneficial for the team.“Hashan has been with us since the recent Test match against Zimbabwe, actually. At this stage, for all the Tests he will be a batting coach. Most probably after the Indian series, we’ll discuss with coach Nic Pothas and see what’s happening from there. With all his experience, there is a lot the batsmen can learn from him,” said Gurusinha.
