Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) on Monday confirmed that former captain Sanath Jayasuriya will continue in his role as men's head coach until the end of March in 2026.
Jayasuriya has been in the top job as interim coach since Chris Silverwood departed from the role after the T20 World Cup 2024 in June, but now won an extension following some recent success during the ongoing ICC World Test Championship.
