3 strong contenders to become Sri Lanka’s next head coach

Allan Donald

Former South African fast-bowling great Allan Donald is another strong option. Donald has previously worked with Sri Lanka as a bowling consultant during the 2017 Champions Trophy. Over the years, he has built a reputation as a respected coach in both domestic and international setups.

In 2022, he served as the pace bowling coach of the Bangladesh national team until the T20 World Cup that year. He is known for his technical expertise and ability to mentor fast bowlers and could help strengthen Sri Lanka’s bowling attack, which has lacked consistency in recent tournaments.
