Former South Africa batter Jonty Rhodes has denied being appointed as a consultant coach for Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) a day after they had made the announcement.
Sri Lanka Cricket made a press release on January 18, announcing the decisions taken by the Executive Committee during their meeting on January 16.
Among the several steps the Committee took “for the advancement of the game in the country,” one was the appointment of acclaimed international coaches, including Rhodes, to train local coaches and trainers.
Rhodes is currently the fielding coach for the Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL and the Durban Super Giants in the SA20. He has previously been involved with Mumbai Indians and the Punjab Kings in the IPL and has also had a stint as fielding coach with the Sri Lankan national team.
In 2015, ahead of Sri Lanka’s home Test series against Pakistan, Rhodes had been appointed as the fielding coach for a short duration of 10 days. Whether his latest association with Sri Lanka Cricket materialises or not, remains to be seen.
