Cricket: Marvan Atapattu joins Zimbabwe coaching unit

Sport

Former Sri Lanka cricket coach, player and skipper Marvan Atapattu has joined the Zimbabwe cricket team as its assistant coach and batting consultant.

Atapattu is likely to succeed Zimbabwe batting coach Andy Waller if he manages to please the Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) authorities.

Presently, Atapattu works only as a consultant but his "contract will be reviewed after the Zimbabwe tour of Bangladesh, with a view to entering into a longer relationship," a ZC report said.

In addition former South Africa fast bowler Makhaya Ntini has been contracted as Zimbabwe's assistant coach in charge of bowling.

A ZC report says that Ntini has been given a two-year contract, while Atapattu’s commitment will be for the duration of Zimbabwe's tour to Bangladesh starting from January 15.
