His role with the Lankan side will be at least until the end of the Indian series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Talking about Tillakratne&#39;s appointment, Sri Lanka Cricket manager Asanka Gurusinha expressed confidence that the former cricketer&#39;s experience would be beneficial for the team.&ldquo;Hashan has been with us since the recent Test match against Zimbabwe, actually. At this stage, for all the Tests he will be a batting coach. Most probably after the Indian series, we&rsquo;ll discuss with coach Nic Pothas and see what&rsquo;s happening from there. With all his experience, there is a lot the batsmen can learn from him,&rdquo; said Gurusinha.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sri Lanka will take on India in the first test at Galle, starting&nbsp;July 26.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/gallery\/385\/ellyse-perry-australia-3476\">Top 10: Most Beautiful Women Cricketers<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>Sahir<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
