However, after accompanying the team to the T20 World Cup and subsequently taking over as interim head coach, his impact has been felt across multiple formats.
"We are in the final stages of negotiating the contract with him. Probably, in the next two or three days you will get to hear more," SLC CEO Ashley de Silva was quoted by ESPNcricinfo.
