National fielding coach

National Fielding Coach: Anton Roux, currently serving as Sri Lanka’s national fielding coach, announced on Wednesday that he is stepping down from the role. Roux, who played first-class cricket for South Africa and coached the Netherlands, became Sri Lanka’s national fielding coach in March 2022.

"On the 14th of August 2024, I decided to step down from my role as the National Fielding Coach for Sri Lanka Cricket. This week will be my last with SLC as I finish my handover. It has been an immense honour and a truly humbling experience to serve the Sri Lankan national cricket team. I will forever cherish the memories and experiences that came with this journey.”

"Witnessing the resilience and unity of the Sri Lankan people during times of crisis, especially during the incredible series win against Australia on home soil, was a testament to what this nation, and team, can achieve when it comes together. The electric atmosphere, the passion of the fans, and the triumphs on the field will remain etched in my memory," wrote Roux in a post on LinkedIn.
