Sri Lanka Cricket appointed former England batsman Ian Bell as the ‘Batting Coach’ of the
national team for the ongoing tour.
He will start working with the team on August 16th and remain until the conclusion of the
three-test match series.
The former England batsman has played in 118 test matches and scored 7727 runs at an
average of 42.69.
He has 22 test centuries under his belt.
“We appointed Ian to bring in a person with local knowledge to help the players with key
insights on the conditions there. Ian has a lot of experience playing in England, and we
believe his inputs will help our team in this crucial tour,” said Mr. Ashley De Silva, CEO, Sri
Lanka Cricket.
