Sri Lanka cricket team has been struggling against India, the host is yet to win any matches against the visitors, losing six consecutive, three in the Test series and are 3-0 in the five match one-day international series.  

There has been no sign of improvement in both the series, batting has been a major problem but bowling department is also struggling. However the problem started before the India series, the Lankans were embarrassed by Zimbabwe, losing the one-day international series before being blanked by India.

Due to the disastrous performance in the recent international matches, the selection committee headed by legendary Sanath Jayasuriya has decided to resign. The committee that compromises of former batsmen Ranjith Madurasinghe, Romesh Kaluwitharana, Asanka Gurusinha and Eric Upashantha apart from Jayasuriya will step down the tour of India concludes.

The national side had some horrid time both at home and away, earlier this year they hosted Bangladesh and they were unable to beat them in any format before being knocked out in the group stage of the Champions Trophy in June.

“Sri Lanka Cricket chief selector Sanath Jayasuriya, as well as committee members Ranjith Madurasinghe, Romesh Kaluwitharana, Asanka Gurusinha and Eric Upashantha, have decided to resign,” Sri Lanka’s sports ministry was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo. “A combined letter bearing the names of the above committee has conveyed this decision to sports minister Dayasiri Jayasekara. According to the letter, their tenure will end on September 7.”

Before the committee resigns, Sri Lanka still has to play two ODs and on T20I and the same selection, the team will decide any changes in the squad.
