SLC brings in ex-India coach to lead fielding camp in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka Cricket said that former India national team fielding coach R. Sridhar will conduct a comprehensive 10-day fielding program aimed at elevating the standards of Sri Lankan cricketers.

 

The specialized training program, set to begin on May 7, will include participants from the men’s and women’s national squads, the Emerging teams, Premier Club players, the National U19 side, and the Women’s ‘A’ team.

 

Sridhar, a BCCI Level 3 certified coach, brings extensive international experience, having served as India’s fielding coach in over 300 matches between 2014 and 2021.

 

He will start the program with the Sri Lanka National Men’s team and then engage with other squads, delivering fielding drills, skill-specific training sessions, and simulated match scenarios designed to replicate real-game conditions.

 

During his visit, Sridhar will work in close collaboration with the National, High Performance, and Club coaches under the guidance of Sri Lanka Cricket.
