Chameera in doubt for West Indies tour, IPL

Fast bowler  Dushmantha Chameera  is in doubt for Sri Lanka's Test tour of the West Indies in June, due to a back complaint. He has also been ruled out of at least the first three weeks of the IPL, and remained in Colombo instead of joining the Rajasthan Royals squad. Further medical tests will determine the exact length of his layoff and recovery.

Chandika Hathurusingha appointed Sri Lanka coach

Chandika Hathurusingha 's first full assignment with Sri Lanka will be the tour to Bangladesh, where he will have just finished up as head coach. Though Hathurusingha had handed his resignation to the Bangladesh Cricket Board as early as October, the boards had been in discussions with him, and indeed with each other, as to what a peaceable relocation of the coach might look like. But SLC has now confirmed that Hathurusingha will begin his three-year contract with Sri Lanka on December 20, just as their T20s against India start. A two Test tour of Bangladesh is set to begin in January. He will be Sri Lanka's 11th head coach (including interim appointments) since 2011. The three-year contract should take him up to the end of 2020, so long as it is honoured by all parties.
