Christopher Eric Wilfred Silverwood, a.k.a Chris Silverwood is a former international cricketer and a former head coach of the England cricket team. In the 2021–22 Ashes series he was criticized for poor decisions – most notably batting first and omitting both James Anderson and Stuart Broad in the First Test.
It was announced on 3 February 2022, that he would be leaving the role and was appointed as head coach for Sri Lanka national cricket team for 2 years in April 2022. This was the best ever decision made by the national cricket team as his supervision and guidance not only improved the skill of the cricketers but also their overall confidence in moving ahead of the challenges.
This success is not only Lanka’s but also for Silverwood too. He went onto say that he has confidence in his team and it is completely team effort.
