Paul Fabregas has refused to take over as the head coach of the Sri Lanka cricket team, foreign media reported.

According to reports, Fabregas has made the decision to stay with the Warriorshire County team. With the end of Mickey Arthur’s coaching tenure on December 6 last year, Sri Lanka Cricket has received more than 30 applications for a new coach.
