Angelo Matthews tenders his resignation!

It has been verbally informed last evening to the Sri Lanka Cricket Selection Committee by Angelo Matthews that he has decided to resign from his position as Captain of Sri Lanka Cricket team with immediate effect.

He has announced this during the course of the discussion held this afternoon in the face of the

astounding defeat at the last game with Zimbabwe and the Selection Committee has consented to this decision. As such, another player would be handling the Sri Lankan team at the Test match scheduled to be played against Zimbabwe next 14th Friday. As presently understood, that position would be transferred on the shoulders of Rangana Herath. However, names of Upul Tharanga and Dinesh Chandimal have been subjected to discussion in that connection. In fact Matthews had been awaiting to meet players in the team to announce his decision officially this morning (12).
