Colombo, Sep 24 (UNI) Angelo Mathews has been stripped off his captaincy of Sri Lanka's limited overs teams following the island's exit from the Asia Cup, while Dinesh Chandimal has been brought in as captain of all three formats -- Test, One-Day International and Twenty20.
The 31-year-old was named as Sri Lanka's limited-overs skipper in January, six months after the all-rounder gave up the captaincy for both red and white-ball formats following a home series defeat to Zimbabwe.
"The National Selectors on Sunday decided to appoint Dinesh Chandimal as the ODI captain to lead the team in the upcoming England series," Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) said in a statement.
