Sports minister Harin Fernando on Wednesday announced former opener Upul Tharanga as the new chairman of national selection committee after accepting recommendations from the Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC).

If Sri Lanka would as much as dare to win the trophy in England, Sanath Jayasuriya is their biggest hope once again.

Sri Lanka Cricket has appointed Dhananjaya de Silva as the new captain of the Sri Lanka Test Cricket Team, following a disappointing performance in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. The decision comes after Sri Lanka's ninth place finish with just two wins in nine matches. Upul Tharanga, the newly-appointed chairman of selectors, emphasized the need for three separate captains, with Kusal Mendis leading in ODIs and Wanindu Hasaranga in T20Is.
