Sri Lanka were snubbed from the race for the semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup after their humiliating defeat to New Zealand in a low-scoring second Super-8 clash. However, the host nation might have been left further humiliated with the four-match losing streak, which included a group-stage defeat to Zimbabwe and a 5-run defeat to Pakistan in the last Super-8 game.
SLC appoint Gary Kirsten as Sri Lanka's new head coach
The Sri Lanka Cricket board have formally appointed former South African great and World Cup-winning coach Gary Kirsten as the new head coach of the Sri Lanka Men's National Cricket team. They have also stated that his appointment will take effect from the 15th of April.
Kirsten will replace former Sri Lankan captain Sanath Jayasuriya, who held the position over the last two years and led them through a tough phase. Jayasuriya had declared before the start of the World Cup that this would be his last assignment with the Sri Lanka side.
