Herath has been appointed as spin-bowling coach for the three upcoming Tests in Asia, replacing former Pakistan spinner and coach Saqlain Mushtaq who was originally announced to fill the temporary role before pulling out to take up a position with the Pakistan Cricket Board.
After the Test in Noida, which will be from September 9 to 13, Herath will stay on with the side through to the two ICC World Test Championship matches in Sri Lanka later this month.
