India vs Sri Lanka: Chamara Kapugedara ruled out of series; Lasith Malinga to captain in fourth ODI

-
Sri Lanka cricket has been hurt by the miserable way, the execution of recent results, administrative problems, and if that was not enough, fitness concerns too. Chamara Kapugedara became the most recent player to retire from the series against India, which visitors lead 3-0, with a back injury. Lasith Malinga will take her place for the fourth ODI to be played on Thursday. But Upul Tharanga will return to lead the team in the fifth ODI. Malinga's appointment is the fifth captaincy change to the Sri Lankan national team in the last seven matches of the competition. Tharanga had been banned by two parties for a slow speed, which meant that he was excluded from the third and fourth ODI.

The turmoil in Sri Lanka's cricket also shifted to administrative changes on Tuesday. The selection panel issued a long statement in which they stated that they had resigned after a terrible stretch that had seen the Sri Lankan team win only four of their last 15 games in all formats. It included an embarrassing departure in the Champions Trophy, the defeat of the ODI series to lower ranked Zimbabwe and not opening the count against India in tests and ODIs.
During the test series against India, Sri Lanka used two captains in veteran spinner Rangana Herath who had to enter to replace Dinesh Chandimal. The hosts lost the 0-3 series of the test and have already lost the ODI series of five matches against India 0-3.
