Sunil Joshi becomes spin bowling coach of Oman


(MENAFN- Muscat Daily)

Former Indian left-arm spinner Sunil Joshi has been named Oman's spin-bowling coach ahead of the team's maiden World Twenty20 appearance in India next year.

Joshi will join head coach Duleep Mendis as part of Oman's support staff.

"It gives me an opportunity to work with an international team in such a big event" Joshi told an Indian newspaper. Joshi said he and Mendis would share their collective experience of bowling and playing spin with Oman's players.

"I believe a coach should be able to demonstrate in practice sessions what he teaches" he said.

"Duleep is the head coach and we can both relate a lot on how to play and bowl spin. Eventually it would help the team to be aware of the nuances of slow bowling."

Oman will begin its preparations from Sunday with a ten-day camp in Rajkot. It is grouped with Bangladesh Ireland and The Netherlands in the World T20 qualifying round and will play its matches in Dharamshala. The winner of the group will advance to the Super Ten stage.
