As per report of the sources, Mahela resigned from his post because he had taken the duty of vice captaincy only till the end of the World Cup.

Another big wicket that fell for Sri Lanka is of the head of national selection committee, former cricketer Aravinda de Silva, who told in a statement that this decision was taken for the betterment for the Sri Lankan team due to important assignments coming later this season.

Along with these big men, the coach of the Sri Lankan team Trevor Bayliss is likely to be replaced with someone else as his tenure of service is about to expire.
