Cricket expert Sanath Jayasuriya's part seemed to have some aligns with Jayawardene's
Mahela Jayawardene, a former Sri Lankan flour, resigned six weeks into his contract after receiving a one-year improvement as their consultant manager in January.
" Sri Lanka Cricket wishes to declare that Mr. Mahela Jayawardene, who served as the' Consultant Coach' of the SLC, has tendered his resignation with quick effect", an Single media transfer said. " Jayawardene, during his career, helped apply substantial changes to the construction of the national team habitat and the High- Performance Center".
Jayawardene, who started his position from 2022, had seen combined results during his day with SLC, with an unexpected get in the 2022 Asia Cup followed by a move to the last a year later being the features. But poor exhibitions at the 2022 and 2024 T20 World Cups, and the 2023 ODI World Cup, had brought his place under investigation, though SLC themselves had been willing to extend his position citing his great function behind the scenes.
His main part, yet, had been in overseeing an entire cultural change within Sri Lanka cricket. Significant accomplishments included his supporting of the National Super League, Sri Lanka's private success in List A and First-Class cricket, technological advancements brought to the High Performance Centre, and a greater emphasis on data and functionality insights.
Even within the national side, Jayawardene's role had been more pronounced in recent years- he had accompanied the side on tour for major tournaments 2022 and 2023- but his absence was conspicuous at the ongoing T20 World Cup in the US and West Indies, where Sri Lanka could n't make it to the Super Eight.
ESPNcricinfo understands that the plan had initially been for Jayawardene to travel with the side, but as it transpired, recently- appointed cricket consultant Sanath Jayasuriya travelled with the team instead. Jayasuriya was announced in the newly- created role in December last year. On the face of it, the position seemed to have some overlaps with Jayawardene's, with it understood to range from strategic and technical planning to the overall development of the national team.
" It has become apparent to me that current decision- making is no longer fully aligned with the direction we were taking in some of these areas, and after careful consideration, I have concluded that it is best I step down", Jayawardene had stated in his resignation letter, which ESPNcricinfo has seen.
Jayawardene, who remains the second- most successful coach in the IPL, is currently the global head of performance at Mumbai Indians and its franchises.
