Sri Lanka's outgoing national head coach Mickey Arthur's departure to England is delayed, it is learnt.
According to the sources in Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), Arthur was to leave for England to take up his new assignment as cricket director with the Derbyshire County Cricket on December 8, but he will leave Sri Lanka on 15th December.
"Arthur and Grant Flower, who was a batting coach with our team, were to leave on 8th December for the UK and were to be booked on the same flight", the source added.
The reason for Arthur's delayed departure is not known.
"Flower may leave on Wednesday subject to the confirmation of his booking. He is leaving for the Sussex area", the source added.
"Flower has a few offers but has not decided yet on his new assignment".
SLC didn't extend the contracts of foreign coaches and has advertised for all coaching positions.
