Sanath Jayasuriya has tendered his resignation from the post of Chairman of Selectors for Sri Lanka Cricket, local media reported.
In his resignation letter to Sports Minister Navin Dissanayake, Jayasuriya was quoted by media as saying, “I am extremely proud and happy that during my tenure Sri Lanka was able to emerge world champions in T20, win the Asia Cup and a long awaited series against England.
“I am always available if Sri Lanka Cricket needs me to serve the country in the future,” said Jayasuriya.
“I take this opportunity of wishing the National team and Sri Lanka cricket all success in their future endeavours,” he added.
On April 1, a new interim committee took up cricket administration after the sports minister fired the body headed by Jayantha Dharmadasa. Former Sri Lanka cricketer Sidath Wettimuny has assumed duties as SLC chairman. It was learnt that Jayasuriya came under fire for his selection in the quarter-final of the recently concluded Cricket World Cup, where Sri Lanka lost in a lopsided contest against South Africa.
