Sports Minister Harin Fernando: Ahead of the white-ball home series against India, newly appointed interim head coach Sanath Jayasuriya calls for discipline within the Sri Lankan team, including enforcing proper haircuts and the removal of piercings.

Addressing the media, former skipper Jayasuirya admitted instilling discipline in current players is important, specially to maintain cricket as "the gentlemen’s game".

"We did basic disciplining. We are expecting discipline in general, and I am only an interim coach during my tenure. I want that discipline," said Jayasuriya, who has been appointed as a temporary coach for the series against India and Sri Lanka’s tour of England in September.
