Sanath Jayasuriya Named Sri Lanka's Interim Coach Ahead Of Limited-Overs Series Against India
Former Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya has been named the interim head coach of the island nation's cricket team ahead of its white-ball home series against India beginning later this month. The Indian team will be touring Sri Lanka for three T20 Internationals and as many ODIs, starting July 27. The 55-year-old Jayasuriya, a swashbuckling opener in his prime, was named for the interim post after Englishman Chris Silverwood resigned last week as Sri Lanka head coach. Silverwood stepped down in the wake of the country's disastrous T20 World Cup campaign, during which it was ousted from the league stage itself.
