Sri Lanka's Wanindu Hasaranga has relinquished his position as skipper of the national T20I team following the World Cup debacle.
According to details, Hasaranga stepped down from his role following Sri Lanka's early exit from the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. The Sri Lankan spinner, who was appointed T20I captain just last year, led the team in 10 matches.
In a statement released by Sri Lankan Cricket, Hasaranga mentioned in his resignation letter that stepping down from captaincy is in the best interest of the team. He expressed his commitment to continue contributing as a player.
“Sri Lanka will always have my utmost best efforts as a player, and I will support and stand by my team and leadership as always,” Hasaranga wrote in his resignation letter to SLC.
