A school official said applicants should possess a minimum qualification of Level 1 or 2 coaching certificate besides experience of five years at school level.
He said the school prefers a Level 2 senior coach with a valid coaching license issued by Sri Lanka Cricket and below the age of 60 years.
They should be able to work with the College cricket administration and formulate short and long term plans for developing cricket and also be able to identify the skills of individuals and help improve on their range of strokes and other skills on the field.
