COLOMBO, AUGUST 29 (Reuters): Sri Lanka’s selection panel, led by former captain Sanath Jayasuriya, will step down after the current limited overs series against India following the team’s slump in form, according to reports on Tuesday. The pressure on the panel to resign had intensified after Sri Lanka were beaten 3-0 in the home test series against India. The five-member panel will stay on only for the next two ODIs and the sole Twenty20 against India, ESPNcricinfo reported citing a sports ministry statement. “A combined letter bearing the names of the above committee has conveyed this decision to sports minister Dayasiri Jayasekara. According to the letter, their tenure will end on September 7,” the ministry was quoted as saying.
