Srinath to develop fast bowlers in SA

May 14, 2003 17:14 IST

Indian pace spearhead Javagal Srinath, who had a wonderful cricket World Cup in February-March, is all set for another trip to South Africa in September -- this time to help with the development of fast bowlers.

The 33-year-old Karnataka bowler, who entered into a contract with the Gauteng Cricket Board in Johannesburg, will help with the development of fast bowlers in the province and tutor a large group of youngsters on the art of fast bowling.

Besides coaching, Srinath, scheduled to arrive in Durban in mid-September, will also play for the Highveld Strikers cricket club.

Gauteng Cricket Board CEO Alan Kourie said Srinath had impressed the board with his commitment to the game and he would be an asset in the board's development programme.

"Srinath has been around for some time and during the World Cup he showed that he is still in good nick," said Kourie.

He also said Srinath is a "perfect gentleman" and would fit into the Gauteng scheme of things.

Srinath, who returned a haul of 16 wickets at 23.06 at the World Cup, where India finished second behind Australia, has hinted that he will retire from the game but has not made any official announcement yet.

He is currently in England, where he is playing for county side Durham.
