Chandika Hathurusinghe has been removed from the Head Coach position of the Sri Lankan Cricket team, informed sources told Asian Mirror.

Jerome Jayaratne appointed the Interim coach for the upcoming New Zealand tour.

Following Sri Lanka's unsuccessful World Cup campaign, Sports Minister Harin Fernando directed all support staff members of the Sri Lanka cricket team to resign from their positions.

However, the Sri Lanka Cricket tried to extend Hathurusinghe's term until the end of the New Zealand series as Sri Lanka comprehensively won the bilateral ODI series against Bangladesh.
