SLC eyes on Rixon

COACH: Sri Lanka Cricket, hunting a successor to Tom Moody as national coach, will call former New Zealand coach Steve Rixon for an interview next week.

Fifty three-year-old Rixon has represented Australia in 13 Tests and six one-day internationals. He also coached New South Wales State team four times between 1989 and 1994 and has been coaching Surrey since 2004.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka Cricket officials will have a discussion with the Queensland cricket coach Terry Oliver today. He is tipped to be the frontrunner for the post.
