Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has appointed former South African batsman Neil McKenzie as a consultant coach for the upcoming two-match Test series against South Africa.
McKenzie will be working closely with the Sri Lankan team during a pre-series camp in South Africa. His extensive experience playing in South African conditions will be invaluable to the Sri Lankan players.
The appointment of McKenzie is a strategic move by Sri Lanka Cricket to bolster their chances of success in the Test series. The team will be aiming to secure crucial World Test Championship points and improve their overall performance in Test cricket.
The two-Test series against South Africa is scheduled to take place in December 2024. Sri Lanka will be looking to leverage McKenzie’s expertise to overcome the challenges posed by South Africa’s strong bowling attack and difficult conditions.
