Sri Lanka welcomes Gary Kirsten as head coach through 2028

Sri Lanka has rolled out the red carpet for cricket wizard Gary Kirsten, who will be the head coach starting April 15, 2026. With a trophy cabinet that sparkles from his World Cup win with India and a top ranking for South Africa, he’s here to whip the team into shape for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027 after the last coach, Sanath Jayasuriya, stepped down following a bumpy T20 ride.
