Coach chris silverwood

Newly-appointed Sri Lanka head coach Chris Silverwood on Thursday revealed that he has asked his batters to have a positive mindset, be brave and play without the fear of getting out.

The 47-year old Silverwood recently took up the role as the head coach of the Sri Lanka men's side, following his departure from the England job in the aftermath of the defeat in the Ashes. His first assignment will be an away tour to Bangladesh, with the two sides jostling for crucial World Test Championship points.
