SLC in talks with Rhodes for brief coaching stint

SLC is in talks with Jonty Rhodes, the former South Africa batsman and current Mumbai Indians fielding coach, to work with the Sri Lankan team for a ten-day stint in the lead-up to the home series against Pakistan in June.

"Jonty has given us an offer and we hoping to talk to him and finalise the deal," an SLC interim committee source said. "We have asked him for a program and how he plans to get on with the coaching."

Rhodes will also coach the coaches apart from the national cricketers on the latest techniques of fielding.
