Former Sri Lanka: Former Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya has been appointed as the interim head coach of the men's national team ahead of the home limited-overs series against India, scheduled later this month.

The former attacking batter has replaced Chris Silverwood in the role after the latter stepped down following their ravaging campaign in the T20 World Cup.

Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) said in a statement that Jayasuriya will function in the position until the completion of Sri Lanka's tour of England in September 2024.
