Upul Tharanga, the recently appointed Chairman of Selectors for Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) on Thursday, revealed that batter Dhananjaya de Silva will take on the role of the Test team’s new captain.
The immediate concern is to fix the top-order concerns and poor fielding that contributed to SL’s poor performance in the recent ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India, in which they placed at ninth with just two wins in nine matches, reported Sri Lanka Cricket.
Also, batter Kusal Mendis (ODIs) and all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga (T20Is) are being looked at as captains in white-ball cricket.
