Apr 19 (CP) Colombo- Sri Lanka's cricket authority, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) said Saturday that it has been unable to contact the national coach to verify the media reports on his possible recruitment by the England's cricket board.
The SLC issuing a media statement said that it has received numerous inquiries from the media in relation to England and Wales Cricket Board's interest in recruiting national coach Paul Farbrace as one of their coaches.
Apr 19 (ESPNCI) SLC has expressed surprise and disappointment "in no uncertain terms" at the news that Sri Lanka head coach Paul Farbrace may be recruited as England's new assistant coach, after the ECB confirmed their interest in Farbrace to SLC. Farbrace is presently contracted to SLC until December 31, 2015 , but it now appears likely he may not serve out the remainder of his term.
Apr 19 (DNA) The bandwagon may have moved from Bangladesh to the UAE, but the awful memories of that 21-ball 11 against Sri Lanka are still haunting him. In fact, he has also failed to recover from the stinging criticism he received for flopping in the final of the World Twenty20. Perhaps, it has a lot to do with rioters pelting stones at his house. But even a swashbuckling 52 not out in his first match for the Royal Challengers Bangalore couldn't help. Yuvraj Singh is still sulking. Big time.
