Trevor Penney returns to Edgbaston

Trevor Penney will return to Edgbaston on Thursday 25th May in his new capacity as Sri Lanka’s assistant coach. Trevor who spent 14 years with the Bears was renound for his fielding prowess.

The 2nd npower Test Match between England and Sri Lanka starts at 11.00a.m on Thursday 25th May and is expected to be a well fought contest between the sides. Sri Lanka boast a solid batting line up with the likes of Sangakkara and Jayawardene and their bowling attack contains the legendary Muralitharan who currently has 611 Test Match wickets to his name.

The England side will return to the scene of their dramatic win against Australia last summer which was labelled as the ‘Greatest Ever Test.’

Trevor is confident that the game at Edgbaston will be an exciting one. “Man for man it promises to be a very exciting Test Match. With England beating the Aussies last year it is a great incentive for our guys to come and beat England on home soil. We have been working hard over the last 6 months and it all clicks together we are a threat to any team. It will be a change for me to sit in the away dressing room but I am looking forward to coming home to Edgbaston – the crowds have always been so supportive of me!”
