Sri Lanka shock as head coach steps down from role

The former England pacer had been appointed to the role in April 2022 and oversaw the Sri Lanka Men's cricket team in several important tournaments and series. Under Silverwood's tenure, Sri Lanka secured important wins including the Asia Cup 2022, the home ODI series against Australia, and the away Test series against Bangladesh. They also reached the finals of Asia Cup 2023. However, Sri Lanka failed to make it to the knockout stages of recent ICC tournaments, including the two most recent ICC Men's T20 World Cups in 2022 and 2024 and the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in 2023 while Silverwood was coach. Sri Lanka's campaign in the ongoing T20 World Cup ended when they failed to qualify for the Super Eight stage.
