Ever since Sanath Jayasuriya joined the Sri Lankan team, he has made a complete transformation. In the month of July this year, he was made the interim coach of the team. Since then Sri Lanka has achieved many big victories. First of all, he gave Team India a 2-0 clean sweep in the ODI series after 27 years. Then after 10 years they won a test match in England and now they have defeated New Zealand 2-0 in the test series. Jayasuriya has benefited from this brilliant performance in the last three months. Sri Lanka Cricket Board has extended his contract for the next one year. Now he has been made the head coach of the team from the interim coach for the next one year.

Got the responsibility after the defeat

The Sri Lankan team was struggling to perform well for the last few years. Even in the T20 World Cup 2024, the team was out of the group stage itself. After this, head coach Chris Silverwood and consultant coach Mahela Jayawardene resigned. Due to sudden vacancy of two important posts, Sri Lanka made Sanath Jayasuriya the interim coach in July and gave the responsibility of the team. Besides, recruitment for the new head coach was also released.

After the arrival of Jayasuriya, the performance of the team has suddenly become excellent. The Sri Lankan team could not win the T20 series from India. But after that he has performed brilliantly in ODI and Test. In view of this, the board has decided to continue his tenure and by promoting him, he has made him the head coach of the team for one year. Let us tell you that Jayasuriya was first given the responsibility as a cricket consultant for one year in December. Under this, he was working for the High Performance Center and also went with the team during the T20 World Cup.
