Former cricketers Sanath Jayasuriya and Mahela Jayawardena will work as cricket consultants for Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), but in different capacities, SLC Vice President Ravin Wickramaratne clarified.
Speaking during a television talk show on local media, Wickramaratne explained that Mahela Jayawardena is tasked with discussing and creating strategies for the performance of the national teams.
He further said Mahela Jayawardena will focus on the strategies of the Sri Lankan teams, largely focusing on the national team.
The SLC Vice President said, however, that Sanath Jayasuriya has been tasked with the conditioning of the cricket teams, starting from junior cricket to the national team.
He is tasked with conditioning the players, which includes injuries, mental preparation, and fitness-related strategies, which will be done from the High-Performance Unit.
Ravin Wickramaratne added that Sanath Jayasuriya will work together with the coaches, conditioning and developing the cricketers for international standards. (NewsWire)
