In a significant development in the Sri Lanka Cricket, allrounder Wanindu Hasaranga has stepped down as Sri Lanka’s T20I captain following the team's disappointing performance at the T20 World Cup 2024. Hasaranga has been a pivotal figure in the team's T20 setup with his powerful skills .

Hasaranga, renowned for his explosive batting and bowling, has been at the helm of Sri Lanka’s T20I side since last year. Under his captaincy, Sri Lanka played ten games.

“Sri Lanka will always have my utmost best efforts as a player, and I will support and stand by my team and leadership as always,” Hasaranga wrote in his resignation letter to SLC.

During the T20I World Cup, Sri Lanka had failed to qualify for the Super eight. Sri Lanka’s upcoming assignment is against India in which they’re slated to play three T20Is and as many ODIs. Sri Lanka haven’t yet named the captain in the shortest format.
