COLOMBO: Sri Lanka Cricket on Sunday announced they had hired former South African paceman Allan Donald as temporary bowling coach ahead of the Champions Trophy in England.
The 50-year-old will join as “consultant fast bowling coach” for two months in the run-up to the tournament starting on June 1, the Sri Lankan board said.
“Donald will join the team in their residential training at the Pallekele International Stadium where they will be undergoing a high-intensity training and conditioning programme from May 9-16,” it said.
The South African, who is due to take up a coaching assignment with English county Kent next year, is due in Colombo on Monday.
Kent said Donald would join them in 2018 because of delays in obtaining a work permit.
Last week Sri Lanka named a 15-member squad led by Angelo Mathews for the Champions Trophy.
