Chris Silverwood has the chance to ruin England’s T20 World Cup hopes and could prove a point in the process.
Not because the former England coach is hungry for revenge or to make life painful for the players he was working with just eight months ago, but because he is the most professional of coaches. Silverwood is in Sydney at the same time as the England cricket team for the first time this year as head coach of Sri Lanka who are the opponents for the final group stage game at the SCG.
Back in January, the man known as ‘Spoons’ should have been here during the Ashes, but Covid kept him in Melbourne with his family while Graham Thorpe took over for the only draw of the series.
