        [caption id="attachment_199015" align="alignleft" width="456"] World champion legendary pacie Chaminda Vaas snubbed?[/caption] Despite Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) sent out a media release yesterday (17) informing the newly-appointed coaching staff of the Sri Lanka men’s national team, Chaminda Vaas who had been appointed their Fast Bowling Coach according to that SLC release, is yet confirm his appointment owing mainly to a payment dispute, The Morning Sports reliably learnt. Vaas, nicknamed ‘Vaasy’, is the current Consultant Fast Bowling Coach attached to SLC’s High Performance Centre in Colombo. Reliable sources within SLC confirmed yesterday that Sri Lanka’s fast-bowling legend and world champion player has not signed any contract as yet allegedly to an unreasonable payment disparity. Much lower salary Whilst Chris Silverwood and Naveed Nawaz, the newly appointed Head Coach and the Assistant Coach, have been offered two-year contracts allegedly for hefty sums while Vaas has been offered only a one-year contract and it is only for Test cricket assignments, not for assignments on the other two formats. Vaas’ alleged stipulated monthly payment is $ 3,000 or approximately Rs. 975,300. The figure is allegedly much lower than that of some of the more junior support-staffers of the national team is to receive, it is understood. Disrupted post with BCB as well? It is also learnt that Vaas, who was tipped to be recruited as Bangladesh’s men’s national team’s Fast Bowling Coach, across all formats for a much bigger salary, had had his possible chances of recruitment there ruined for one bizarre reason. It is alleged that officials appointed by the former Minister of Sports Namal Rajapaksa into the SLC Technical Advisory Committee had informed the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) that Vaas was to be recruited shortly by SLC as its Fast Bowling Coach creating indecision within BCB. Anyway, sources added that Vaas will continue to hold his position as the Consultant Fast Bowling Coach attached to the SLC High Performance Centre. Nawaz’s appointment SLC yesterday announced the appointment of Nawaz, former Sri Lanka player, as the Assistant Coach of the national men’s team for a two-year term, effective from 1 April 2022. Nawaz, before taking over the new role, was functioning as the Head Coach of the Bangladesh Under-19 team, where he led the team to an International Cricket Council (ICC) Under-19 World Cup triumph in 2020. Other appointments Nawaz’s first competitive assignment with the national team will be the upcoming Sri Lanka Test tour of Bangladesh, which will also be the first such assignment of the newly-appointed Sri Lanka Head Coach Chris Silverwood. Sri Lanka are to play two Tests in Bangladesh during 15-26 May. In the meantime, the following coaches were appointed to work with the national team during the upcoming Sri Lanka tour of Bangladesh. Piyal Wijetunge - Spin Bowling Coach; Manoj Abeywickrama - Fielding and Support Coach, and Mahinda Halangoda - Team Manager.
