Kumar Sangakkara calls England white-ball coaching role as exciting prospect

England Cricket Team: Kumar Sangakkara claims coaching England white ball team would be a highly exciting prospect

Former Sri Lanka star Kumar Sangakkara has claimed that it would be exciting for him to coach England’s white ball team. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is currently on the look out for a new coach since Matthew Mott left his post.

Despite showing his interest, Kumar Sangakkara has revealed that he is wet to be approached for the post by the ECB. Currently for the Three Lions, former English great Marcus Thescothick is serving as the interim 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 think Matthew Mott has done a really good job,” Sangakkara said while commentating for The Hundred.

The former Lankan keeper is deemed as one of the front runners of the job after his success in leading the charge for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League. Furthermore, Sangakkara’s close bonding with Jos Buttler is expected to pay huge dividends for him since the Englishman is the captain of RR. 

“It is great that Jos Buttler is staying in that leadership role as the side progresses because it is a nice time from what the side is — and was — and how it wants to progress in the future,” Sangakkara claimed.
