Sri Lanka legend Sanath Jayasuriya will take the reins of the men’s national team as the interim head coach with immediate effect and will hold the position until the completion of the tour of England.
Sri Lanka will travel to England for a three-match Test series, starting on 21 August.
The first Test will be played in Manchester, and the remaining two in London at Lord's and The Oval respectively.
Jayasuriya steps in to replace Chris Silverwood, who resigned following Sri Lanka's disappointing campaign in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.
The team finished third in Group D, managing only one win in four games.
