Former Sri Lankan captain Kumar Sangakkara, who has been associated with the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL as head coach for quite some time now, is likely to leave his role to take charge of England’s white-ball team.
According to a report in Cricbuzz on Friday, the legendary batter is favourite to replace Matthew Mott as England’s new white-ball head coach, and if he leaves for the national team, RR is likely to appoint Rahul Dravid as head coach.
“Well, I know my name has been mentioned for some reason, but there has not been any approach as such. I think the England white-ball job is an exciting prospect for anyone, but there are so many good candidates out there. I am very happy at the moment. The Rajasthan Royals experience has been very fulfilling, and it has been a job I have really enjoyed over the last four years,” Sangakkara was quoted as saying by English media.
Apart from Sangakkara, former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff’s name is also doing the rounds for the English Team Coaching job.
