Former Australian opener Geoff Marsh will take over as head coach of the Sri Lankan team on a two-year contract, the country’s cricket board (SLC) said on Friday.
“With his vast coaching and playing experience at the highest levels, Sri Lanka Cricket is confident that he would be an ideal choice for the post of Sri Lanka national team head coach,” the board said in a statement.
Marsh, who will begin his new job on Sept. 27, was part of Australia’s 1987 World Cup-winning team and also coached them to the 1999 trophy.
