Former Sri Lanka batsman Charith Senanayake has been appointed team manager for his country ahead of the test series against India starting Wednesday.
Sri Lanka Cricket media manager Shane Fernando said Tuesday that sports minister Gamini Lokuge approved the appointment of Senanayake, who played three tests and seven one-day internationals as an opening batsman.
Earlier, cricket authorities nominated former captain Hashan Tillakaratne for the job. But Lokuge refused to endorse him Monday, citing his involvement in politics as rendering him ineligible to accept a paid job in a sports organization.
The first test in the three-match series is at Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo.
