Leonard Ratnayaka from England
Jehan Mubarak, the newly appointed Head Coach of Sri Lanka Under 19 team, speaks to SriLankaSports.com on the team preparations for the tour against England.
Mubarak, who comes in with a wealth of experience as a coach at school level, believes that the squad that is selected has the ability to do well in England. The 18-member squad that has been selected for the tour comprises of a mixture of seniors who have represented the Under-19 World Cup this year.
The former left-handed batter was pleased with the fact that most players who have been selected in this squad have overseas experience, so they know what to expect. Another encouraging sign is that almost all players have made their debuts in first class cricket. Despite having started to play first class cricket, none of them have played in England, which Mubarak described as one of the major challenges during his first tour as head coach.
