Wednesday, 23 April 2014
COLOMBO, Apr 22 (AFP): Sri Lanka were left searching for their seventh coach in four years after Paul Farbrace resigned Tuesday to take up a possible assignment with England, Sri Lanka Cricket said.
Farbrace, 46, has been linked to the post of assistant coach to Peter Moores, who was named England's chief coach last week replacing Zimbabwean Andy Flower.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have yet to confirm Farbrace's appointment, but Sri Lankan chiefs appeared certain that the Englishman will return to his home nation.
"National coach Paul Farbrace tendered his resignation and has indicated his unavailability to continue with immediate effect in order to take up an appointment with the ECB," Sri Lanka Cricket said in a statement.
