Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) announced today that interim head coach of the Sri Lanka men’s cricket team, Sanath Jayasuriya’s term has been extended for another year.
On July 07, 2024, former Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya was temporarily appointed as the Head Coach of the men’s national team by Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC).
Jayasuriya served as the interim head coach for the home series against India and the Test tour to England.
This decision came as SLC continued its search for a permanent replacement for former head coach Chris Silverwood.
The interim appointment followed the resignations of head coach Chris Silverwood and consultant coach Mahela Jayawardene after Sri Lanka’s underwhelming performance in the T20 World Cup held in the USA and West Indies.
Under the leadership of Wanindu Hasaranga, the team failed to advance to the Super 8 round, prompting a need for significant changes in the coaching staff.
