Despite Chandika Hathurusingha not having been officially removed from the post, Mickey Arthur is likely to be appointed as the next coach of Sri Lanka’s cricket team.
There has not been a contract signed yet between Arthur and the Sri Lankan management, but the officials of the country’s cricketing board have shown their faith in the South African’s abilities, according to reports.
Arhur could be Sri Lanka’s coach as early as their two-match Test series versus Pakistan that will be played before the turn of the year, as negotiations continue.
“We are having discussions with Mickey. We think we will be able to reach an agreement,” Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) CEO Ashley de Silva told ESPNCricinfo.
