Former South Africa wicketkeeper-batsman Nic Pothas has been appointed Sri Lanka's fielding coach, and will begin the role from today, Chairman of Cricket Committee Aravinda De Silva said.

He said he had talks with former Zimbabwe cricketer Grant Flower, Nic Pothas and few others as well. “Grant was involved with other contracts and Nic was the one who was available. Therefore, we decided to hire him. We always believe in engaging the best professional advice and technical support for our team and this appointment is one such positive step," he said.
