COLOMBO: Sri Lanka’s cricket board on Tuesday named former South African batsman Neil McKenzie as a consultant coach ahead of their Test tour of South Africa. The former Proteas right-handed batter, 48, will work with Sri Lankan players from Wednesday for just over a week, the board said. McKenzie’s playing career highlights included sharing a 415-run stand with Graeme Smith against Bangladesh in 2008, the highest-ever opening partnership in Test history. “McKenzie will bring in vital, in-depth insights about the South African conditions to help Sri Lankan players adapt to the challenge,” the board’s chief Ashley de Silva said in a statement. The two-Test series begins on Nov 27, with the second match starting on Dec 5.
