GMT + 3 Hours SL selectors resign after captain, v-captain quit

Post by Admin Tue Sep 13, 2011 1:52 pm

COLOMBO: After Kumar Sangakkara stepped down as one-day and Twenty20 captain and veteran batsman Mahela Jayawardene quit as vice-captain, a three-member selection committee also resigned en masse in a major shake-up in Sri Lankan cricket following the team's World Cup defeat.

The selectors, led by former batsman Aravinda de Silva, handed in their resignations to Sports Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage.

De Silva was the vice-captain of the 1996 World Cup-winning Sri Lankan side.

Sangakkara stood down on Tuesday to allow selectors to groom new leaders for the next cricket World Cup in 2015.

A day later, Jayawardene resigned as vice-captain to let the selectors to appoint a young player as new deputy.

Sri Lanka's next international assignment is the tour of England in May-July for three Tests and five one-day internationals.
