New coach Rumesh could hone SL bowlers

SR Pathiravithana in Sri Lanka's Sunday Times, on the team's new interim coach, Rumesh Ratnayake, his cricket career and what he could offer the game in the island nation.

The Lankan attack with the departure of especially Muralitharan, looks utterly wayward with the exception of off spinner Suraj Randiv who is beginning to grow his spinning fangs. Even Lasith Malinga who spearheaded the Mumbai Indians bowling attack in the IPL T20 was found wanting at times [against England] due to the lack of quality support. This is where a person in the calibre of Rumesh fits in like a glove. He understands what a bowler needs and knows how to hone it. As a matter of fact it was Rumesh who initially nurtured the fast bowling arm of Sri Lanka Cricket, when it was groping in the dark.
