Arthur will most likely be replaced permanently by Sri Lanka World Cup-winning batsman Roshan Mahanama, the source added. In June he joined as the Head Coach of Australian Big Bash League (BBL) franchise Melbourne Renegades. Yet he was removed as Head Coach of Pakistan following their poor run which continued into the 2019 World Cup. Flower, a former Zimbabwe all-rounder, had also worked with Arthur during the latter’s Pakistan stint, again as the Batting Coach. Until then Wijetunge, who is current Spin Bowling Coach attached to SLC, will look after the Sri Lanka squad’s overall coaching.
