On Thursday, Sri Lanka Cricket has decided to sack Thisara Perera as ODI captain and said it would announce a replacement next week. Thisara took on the job in late November, succeeding Upul Tharanga, who was sacked after losing consistent matches on a trot.

Sri Lanka Cricket said it would name a successor after consulting new coach Chandika Hathurusingha. SLC president said, “During the discussion, the chairman of selectors informed me that they are considering appointing either Angelo Mathews or Dinesh Chandimal to fill the role.”

Sri Lanka will be touring to Bangladesh later this month, are under pressure after a series of defeats, most recently to India.
