It would be an honour at some stage to work for [SLC] again."I'm sure [SLC] will have lots of people they are looking at for this role."The 46-year-old said that he is happy with his current employer, and he enjoys his role as Yorkshire's second XI coach.Eleven applicants — eight from overseas and three locals — have applied for the vacancy, while "several other interested parties [were] deprived of submitting their applications due to time constraints", a statement from SLC stated.The deadline for submissions has therefore been extended.Meanwhile, according to a report by Press Trust of India, who cited an unnamed SLC official as the source of their information, former Indian fast bowler Venkatesh Prasad, Marvan Atapattu, Romesh Kaluwitharana and Ruwan Kalpage have all been picked as "short-listed aspirants".© Island Cricket</blockquote>
