It has been learned that this decision has been taken after long discussions regarding the upcoming World Cup.
It is also mentioned that Kusal Mendis will be appointed the captain of the cricket team.
It is also reported that this step has been taken considering the massive defeat of Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final and the personal skills of Dasun Shanaka.
However, the cricket body has not issued an official announcement in this regard.
