Colombo(November 30, 2017): All-rounder Thisara Perera has been named Sri Lanka’s limited overs captain and his first assignment will be a stiff one when he will lead the side against India.
He will captain Sri Lanka in both the three-match ODI and three-match T20 series following the conclusion of the third and final Test in the series.
India lead the Test series 1-0 after winning the second Test in Nagpur by an inning and 239 runs.
Perera takes over from opening batsman Upul Tharanga under whose leadership Sri Lanka suffered three dismal 5-0 whitewashes this year including one at home against India.
