This appointment has been made for the Test match with Afghanistan in India and the New Zealand Test tour of Sri Lanka. However, it is also special that Pakistan's Saqlain Mushtaq, who had held the relevant position until now, was removed from it and this appointment was made.

Recently, Rangana Herath worked as the spin coach of the Bangladesh national team. 

Rangana Herath, who is considered to be the most successful left-arm spinner in the world, has taken 433 wickets in 93 Test matches in his career.

Apart from this, it is also a notable event that the former Indian batting coach Vikram Rathore has been appointed as the batting coach of the New Zealand team for the respective tournaments.
