New Delhi. After winning the Asia Cup of Sri Lanka, their players are showing great performance all around. Many people are reading ballads in his praise. Somebody seems to be busy praising him by saying something. But there is no talk of the real hero of this victory of Sri Lanka. In this episode, we are going to talk about a person who is known as Chris Sulverwood from behind the scenes to win Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup 2022. Yes, the declining team of Sri Lanka has been groomed by his coach Chris Sulverwood. The Sri Lankan team did not get a place in the Super-12 directly in the T20 World Cup last year and in this year’s World Cup 2022, the winner of the Asia Cup will have to play a qualifying match.
important role of coach
Chris Silverwood, 47, was appointed as the coach of Sri Lanka in April this year. For information, let us tell you that after the retirement of Sri Lankan star cricketer Mahila Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Sanath Jayasuriya, Lasith Malinga and Muttiah Muralitharan, this team could never perform well. This was the reason why Sri Lanka’s cricket was going downhill for the last few years. But as soon as Silverwood took over as the coach of the team, he made many changes after that. Its example is the Asia Cup 2022. Four fast bowlers made their debut for the team in the Asia Cup in the presence of the coach. In the end, these bowlers became the biggest reason for the victory. Pramod Madhushan took 4 wickets in the final match. Apart from this, he also made changes in the batting. Opener Danushka Gunathilaka was brought into the middle order. Bhanuka Rajapaksa was out of the team before the Asia Cup. But Silverwood called him back and included him in the team and it was the player who scored the most runs in front of Pakistan and took the team to a respectable score.
