Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has called for nominations from its member clubs and associations for the upcoming National Team Selection Committee.
In a circular dated October 23, 2025, SLC Honorary Secretary Bandula Dissanayake invited official nominations for consideration to the next selection panel, requesting that submissions be duly signed by authorized representatives and reach the board on or before November 5, 2025.
The call for nominations comes as the term of the current selection committee, led by former Sri Lanka captain Upul Tharanga, nears completion. The existing panel also includes Ajantha Mendis, Indika de Saram, and Tharanga Paranavitana, who were appointed following Sri Lanka’s disastrous 2023 ICC World Cup campaign, where the national team failed to qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy.
Since then, Sri Lanka’s performances have shown some improvement, with the national side currently ranked No. 4 in ODIs, No. 6 in Tests, and within the top 8 in T20Is.
The National Cricket Selection Committee is appointed by the Minister of Sports, following recommendations made by Sri Lanka Cricket.(Newswire)
