Sri Lanka appoint Mickey Arthur as head coach

Colombo, Dec 5 (UNI) South African Mickey Arthur was appointed as Sri Lanka's head coach on a two-year contract, the country's cricket board (SLC) said here on Thursday.
SLC had earlier appointed former fast bowler Rumesh Ratnayake as interim coach in August, after a fallout with head coach Chandika Hathurusingha, who was criticised for Sri Lanka's exit at the group stage of the 50-over World Cup in England.
Arthur has held several international coaching assignments, before taking over the Sri Lankan role. He has coached the national teams of South Africa (2005 to 2010), Australia (2011 to 2013) and most recently, Pakistan.
