According to a statement released by Sri Lankan Cricket (SLC), Hasaranga stated in his resignation letter that he took this decision “in the best interest” of the team. “Sri Lanka will always have my utmost best efforts as a player, and I will support and stand by my team and leadership as always,” Hasaranga wrote in his resignation letter to SLC. Sri Lanka confirmed that Hasaranga would remain a key player in their squads going forward.
As Per Media Sources, The Asian team takes on India in a home white-ball bilateral series, beginning July 26. They are yet to name their squad and skipper for the series. Notably, the recently concluded ICC T20 World Cup 2024 was poor for Sri Lanka as they failed to reach the Super Eights. They lost to South Africa and Bangladesh in the group stage and could only register one win against the Netherlands. Their game against Nepal was washed out due to rain. With just three points, Lanka finished in the third spot in Group D. Earlier on Monday, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) announced former cricketer Sanath Jayasuriya as the interim head coach of the men’s senior national team until September 2024.
