Sanath Jayasuriya and his selection panel have reportedly quit in the aftermath of the Sri Lanka Cricket's leadership revamp. A PTI report quoted excerpts of Jayasuriya's resignation letter to sports minister Navin Dissanayake.

"I am extremely proud and happy that during my tenure Sri Lanka was able to emerge world champions in T20, win the Asia Cup and a long awaited series against England. I am always available if Sri Lanka Cricket needs me to serve the country in the future."

Jayasuriya's term as chairman of selectors began in January 2013 and was scheduled to end on March 31, along with the rest of the SLC office bearers according to the laws regarding sports bodies in the country, but the board elections were postponed because of the World Cup, and so were their tenures. According to PTI, the new SLC interim committee led by former Test opener Sidath Wettimuny had not hinted at an extention.
