Indianapolis, Jul 13 (UNI) With support from its new partner American Cricket Enterprises (ACE), USA Cricket is excited to announce the addition of a group of coaching advisors to assist with the senior men’s team over the next few months following the recent departure of head coach Pubudu Dassanayake. Coach Dassanayake has decided to step aside to allow the new coaching advisors to flourish.
After achieving One Day International (ODI) status for the first ever, the men’s team is looking to continue its winning track record with a firm focus on successful tournament finishes this August and October which will qualify the team for the 2020 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia. It is hoped that this group of experienced advisors will provide an enhanced and optimal coaching environment in which the elite players will have the best possible opportunity to further develop their skills and succeed as a team.
Central to this restructuring is the appointment of Kiran More (a former wicket-keeper, vice-captain and selector for the Indian National Team; and more recently wicket-keeping coach and cricket consultant to the Mumbai Indians) in a senior cricket operations consultancy role. In addition to More, the following advisors will be brought on immediately on a short-term basis:
