Former Sri Lanka fast bowler Chaminda Vaas has been appointed as the fast bowling coach of the national squad for the upcoming West Indies tour, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) said. Vaas is one of the most successful and accurate left-arm seamers Sri Lanka has ever had. The appointment came after David Saker stepped down as Sri Lanka’s fast bowling coach on Thursday (February 18) days before the West Indies tour. National squad is scheduled to leave for West Indies on the 23rd of February for matches across all formats. It was postponed earlier after Sri Lanka head coach Mickey Arthur and batsman Lahiru Thirimanne were tested positive for Covid-19.
