Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has chosen Gary Kirsten to be the new head coach of the men’s team. This happened after Sanath Jayasuriya quit following Sri Lanka’s loss to England in Pallekele. Despite being in contention to reach the semifinals of the T20 World Cup 2026, Jayasuriya had already made up his mind to leave. In fact, he’d made his intentions clear in January.

In a press release, the cricket body confirmed former South Africa cricketer and well-respected coach Gary Kirsten as their head coach for the next 2 years.

Kirsten will start as head coach on April 15, so he won’t coach Sri Lanka in their white-ball series against Afghanistan in March. His contract will last until April 14, 2028. Which means he’ll be there for the remainder of the 2025-27 World Test Championship and the 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe.
