COLOMBO: Sri Lanka Cricket has announced on Wednesday that Mahela Jayawardena, who served as the ‘Consultant Coach’, has resigned from his post.
“Jayawardena, during his tenure, helped implement significant changes to the structure of the national team ecosystem and the High-Performance Center.
Sri Lanka Cricket takes this opportunity to wish Mahela all the best in his future endeavors and thank him for the services he rendered during his tenure,” SLC said in a statement.
Jayawardene first took up the role starting in 2022 for a period of one year following which it was extended for another year.
No reason was specified for his resignation but it comes close on the heels of a disappointing World Cup campaign for Sri Lanka where they failed to make it to the Super 8 stage.
