Chaminda Vaas has torn into Sri Lanka’s cricket coaching system, warning that handing out Level 3 certificates like free passes will only breed mediocrity. He insists coaching must reflect knowledge, skill, and commitment not shortcuts if Sri Lanka hopes to rise again in world cricket.
Sri Lanka’s cricket fraternity has long grappled with inconsistent systems of player development, and Vaas’s remarks have amplified calls for urgent reform. With the country struggling to maintain its reputation in international cricket, the legend’s intervention is a reminder that the pathway to success cannot be paved with easy certifications. Instead, it demands rigorous training, true expertise, and a coaching culture that values standards over numbers.
