The 54-year old Gurusinha has been appointed as a head coach of the Nigeria cricket team, according to Musa Ehizoje Bodie, the PRO: Nigeria Cricket Federation. Speaking exclusively over the telephone from Abuja on Sunday morning, he said, "Gurusinha has already left Australia and is on his way to this country. He will assume the charge and begin coaching the players from December 1 onwards.” "We had over 20 applications but he fitted the profile of whom we are looking for the most.” "Gurusinha has played and coached at the highest level. He has experience working with Sri Lanka and Australia. He understands what we are trying to achieve with our cricket in Nigeria especially with our elite team and grassroot development. Gurusinha has had online interactions with the players before now.” "Our national language is English and therefore the language will not be a barrier for the players to interact with him,” Musa Ehizoje Bodie explained. Duration of Gurusinha's contract was not known yet but he is set to interact with the media on December 8. Joshua Ayannaike is the national captain. Speaking exclusively, he said, “Getting such a high profile coach is highly motivating and great for the team and cricket development generally in the country. This is a major step in advancing all aspects of the game in Nigeria and with his introduction we hope to improve our global rankings, compete successfully with the top teams in Africa and work our way back into playing the one-day format of the game.” "It’s great to finally have coach Asanka here, we are excited and eager to start working with him,” the captain further added.
