SLC Appoints Julian Wood As National Batting Coach; Rene Ferdinands Named Spin-bowling Coach
UTS North Sydney Cricket Club: Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has appointed Julian Wood as the new batting coach of the national men's cricket team for a one-year term, commencing October 1, 2025. The move comes after Sri Lanka failed to qualify for the Super Fours stage of the recently-concluded 2025 Asia Cup, where India were crowned champions.
Known for creating the innovative “Power Hitting Program,” he combines cricket techniques with modern training and biomechanics to enhance a player’s hitting power. Wood has extensive experience, having worked with the ECB, Gloucestershire CCC, Hampshire CCC, Middlesex CCC, and IPL team Punjab Kings.
Earlier this year, he led a one-week training camp with Sri Lanka’s national squads, helping them prepare for upcoming international matches, including the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup.
