Sri Lanka Look to Sleep to Tackle The spin bowling Problem

Sri Lanka Cricket has reserved in previous Australia leg-spinner Peter Sleep to lead a two-week instructing center with the nation's turn bowlers.

Rest, 60, is relied upon to land in Colombo not long from now. A SLC official disclosed to Cricbuzz that the previous leg-spinner was enlisted on the suggestions of head mentor Chandika Hahturusingha. Rest is among the previous spinners shortlisted to join the Sri Lankan side on a full-time premise.

Rest influenced his top notch to make a big appearance for South Australia as a youngster and his Test make a big appearance agreed with the World Series Cricket. Having influenced his Test to make a big appearance at the MCG against Pakistan in 1979, Sleep played only 14 Test coordinates throughout the following 11 years in a stop-begin profession. His universal vocation for all intents and purposes finished with the landing of Shane Warne.

Since the landing of Hathurusingha as the head mentor in January this year, he has been harping a ton on the effect leg-spinners can have especially in shorter configurations of the diversion. Following 20-year-old Wanindu Hasaranga neglected to have an effect, veteran Jeewan Mendis, 35, was brought once more into the side in the wake of being in the wild for a long time. He too had little effect while Jeffrey Vandersay kept on battling with wounds and shape. Left-arm wrist spinner Lakshan Sandakan hasn't gotten an expanded run either.

They are positioned eighth on the planet and increased programmed capability for the World Cup insignificantly finished the West Indies.

Sri Lanka's issues lie especially with the knocking down some pins as among the present bowlers just Angelo Mathews has an economy rate of beneath five runs an over. Mathews, the group's white ball skipper, is returning after damage and will just play as a pro batsman for the following couple of months.

Sri Lanka will likewise settle on another group supervisor by right on time one month from now in front of the voyage through West Indies after Asanka Gurusinha was advanced as superior administrator assuming control from Englishman Simon Willis, who finished his term early.

Sri Lanka will play three Test matches against West Indies in Trinidad, St. Lucia and Barbados.
