Rumesh Ratnayake was appointed as the interim coach of the National Cricket Team for the upcoming Sri Lanka Tour of Australia.

He was appointed by the Executive Committee of Sri Lanka Cricket in consultation with the Technical Advisory Committee of Sri Lanka Cricket.

Ratnayake will not travel to Australia with the team but will join before the 1st T201 game, as he is currently in self-isolation having tested positive for COVID-19.

Meanwhile, Dilruwan Perera, who represented the Sri Lanka National Team has announced his retirement from all forms of International Cricket with immediate effect.

In his retirement letter written to Sri Lanka Cricket, Perera however said, he will continue to play Domestic Cricket. The off-spinner represented the country across all international formats.
