Sri Lanka great, Kumar Sangakkara has said that it would be an ‘exciting prospect’ to coach England in white-ball cricket. This statement comes after he was recently linked to the job as former coach Matthew Mott stepped down.
Former England batsman Marcus Trescothick has been placed as in-charge on interim basis. He would lead England in September’s ODI and T20I series at home to arch-rivals Australia while Rob Key, the managing director of England men’s cricket, is still in search of Mott’s permanent replacement.
“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.
“I think the decision making in the England camp has been spot on. I really love the leadership that Rob Key has provided…I think he has been a really smart, practical man, very commonsensical in terms of how he makes decisions and very forward-thinking in how he has set the vision for England cricket,” he added.
