Bharat Arun to work with top Sri Lanka cricketers for two weeks.
Bharat Arun will be the most recent in a line of well-known Indian coaches to offer specific instruction programs to the best cricket players in Sri Lanka.
According to a press release from Sri Lanka Cricket on Friday, he would lead a 14-day program “aimed at further enhancing the standards of Sri Lankan fast bowlers across junior and senior squads at the high performance centre.” Beginning on June 2, Arun, the senior India men’s team’s bowling coach from 2014 to 2021, will lead a program.
R Sridhar, the former fielding coach of India, had conducted his own ten-day program earlier in May. The director of high performance for the Rajasthan Royals (RR), Zubin Bharucha, also conducted a short batting tutoring session in Sri Lanka last year. All of these initiatives have taken place when Sanath Jayasuriya has been the head coach.
“[Arun] will work with the Sri Lanka national men’s and women’s teams, the women’s ‘A’ team, the U19 men’s team, coaches of the high performance centre, club and provincial coaches, and coach-educators during his stay here in the country,” the SLC statement said. “He will conduct separate strategy sessions with the men’s red-ball and white-ball teams, hold technical and skill-based training with fast bowlers, hold video and performance analysis sessions with players and coaches, and also match scenarios to develop ‘game’ understanding.”
