Before the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2024, Pakistani cricket star Wasim Akram will coach Sri Lankan bowlers. To lead a two-day training session for national players, Akram travelled to Sri Lanka on Wednesday. Training for the major club coaches and Sri Lanka Cricket‘s (SLC) High-Performance Coaches (HPC) will also be part of the programme, which begins on Thursday.
In order to improve the coaching capacity of the nation’s Major Club system and SLC High-Performance Centre, Sri Lanka Cricket launched this programme to bring in the required experience. Under the direction of Mr. Shammi Silva, the President of Sri Lanka Cricket, the Executive Committee of Sri Lanka Cricket decided to invite Wasim Akram. On May 2, 2024, the training course will start.
Akram will lead five seminars in all, covering key club coaches, HPC, and the SLC pace academy. He’ll also be seeing how the national team of Sri Lanka is getting ready for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the SLC said, as News18 reported.
In the past, Wasim Akram coached Sri Lankan pacers.
Sri Lanka has acquired the services of great Pakistani paceman Wasim Akram as a consultant ahead of their pivotal 2016 visit to South Africa. In the first of a series of programmes with foreign experts, Akram led a coaching clinic in Colombo for a whole day. Akram, widely regarded as one of the best left-arm pacemen to have ever played the game, holds the records for the most Test wickets (414) and one-day international wickets (502).
At the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, Sri Lanka’s T20 World Cup campaign will begin on June 3 against South Africa. The United States and Canada will play in the inaugural match of the 20-team competition on June 2. England, the 2022 winners of the T20 World Cup, are the reigning champions.
