Chandima Mapatuna

Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has appointed their Head of International Cricket Chandima Mapatuna as interim manager of the Sri Lanka cricket team for the three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe starting later this month in Pallekele.

SLC CEO Ashley de Silva said that a permanent manager would be appointed before Sri Lanka’s tour to Australia next month for a five-match T20I series. De Silva said that SLC, which advertised for the manager’s post some time ago, had shortlisted about eight individuals for the post and would be interviewing them shortly.

Since Ashantha de Mel quit as manager of the national team at the end of the two-Test series against England in January last year, SLC has been appointing Manuja Kariyapperuma as interim manager for successive series ending with the T20 World Cup in UAE. (ST)
