Rugby in Sri Lanka plummeted to a new low when the Selection Committee decided to resign yet again. Chairman of the Selection Committee Rohan Abeykoon said that they had only returned to help Sri Lanka rugby out in the wake of the appointment of an Interim Committee for rugby and assurances from the Sports Minister that he would not overturn the Selection Committee decision with regard to the captain.
