Whose sannyasin's discussion was ... he became the new captain of Sri Lanka's team!

At present, the Sri Lankan team is going through the most upheaval in the world of cricket. After the first Test series against England and the one-day series loss in the ODI series, the team has been undergoing a lot of changes. The ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 is now just six months away and the Sri Lankan Cricket Board has announced its new captain's name.

This new captain is none other than the fast bowler Lasith Malinga, but Malinga, who had some time before his sannyasin also had discussions. In the last season of the IPL, Malinga had been in the role of bowling coach after being unsold, but now Sri Lanka Cricket made him the new captain for the one-day series against New Zealand. Niroshana will be Deputy captain of the Dikewella team.

With Malinga being captain, the all-rounder Angelo Mathews has also returned to the team. Matthew was ousted from the team after being dropped from the captaincy after losing the Asia Cup. Then Matthew had said that he was made a scapegoat.

Upal Lahira has been shown the way out of the team while Sri Lankan top spinner Akila Dhananjay is facing suspension of ICC due to his suspicious action.

The Sri Lankan team has changed their coaching staff after the defeat at the hands of England at home and English coach Jonathan Lewis has been appointed as the new batting coach of the team.
