Sri Lanka has appointed former national coach Tom Moody as director of cricket as part of a revamp of cricket operations, the governing body of the sport in the country said.
Former Australia all-rounder Moody guided Sri Lanka to the 2007 World Cup final and Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) said on Monday that the 55-year-old’s knowledge of the system prompted their technical advisory committee to recommend him.
SLC added that Moody will be a consultant and must fulfil 300 days of “mandatory assignment” in his three-year deal.
“Tom has worked with SLC in the past and has shown results, and I am sure with his working knowledge of the system, Tom will add greater value to our game,” SLC CEO Ashley De Silva said in a statement on Sunday.
