JAIPUR:
Allan Donald is likely to get into the shoes of
Dennis Lillee. Well, the MRF Foundation is likely to bid adieu to the Australian legend and bring in the South African as their new coach.
There were talks that Lillee could end his 25-year old ties with the Foundation, which is considered the ideal platform for the pacers of the country.
And, on Saturday, Donald confirmed to TOI that he has been approached, and he is considering the offer.
The South African legend, who is the bowling coach of South African national team, was approached to take over as the coach during his recent visit to the country. And, Donald admitted that he is giving it a thought.
"What I can say is that I have met with someone from the MRF Pace Foundation. We are waiting for a final decision," Donald said.
Admitting the fact that he is awaiting clearance from Cricket South Africa (CSA), Donald said: "I have to talk to CSA about this because I'm employed by them. Our schedule is very busy so to try and find time to do it will be the key. We will need to sort a few things out."
The MRF Pace Foundation officials, however, were unavailable for comment. But then, if everything falls in place, it could be the beginning of a new chapter!
