Sri Lanka Cricket has decided to appoint former skipper Sanath Jayasuriya as a cricket consultant, sources said.
While the decision has been taken, however, cricket sources reported that discussions pertaining to the matter are still underway, and that a final consensus is yet to be reached.
Jayasuriya, who was a member of the 1996 World Cup winning Sri Lanka team, is expected to fulfill his role as a consultant by providing his expertise in several key areas such as training and coaching, and the overall development of the national squad.
Currently, former Sri Lanka cricketer Mahela Jayawardena serves as a consultant coach to the national team.
