Sri Lanka Cricket has agreed to make head coach Chandika Hathurusingha an official selector-on-tour, alongside cricket manager Asanka Gurusinha and the captain of the side.
Hathurusingha will not play an official role in selecting the squad for a series - that role will continue to be fulfilled by the existing selection panel headed by Graham Labrooy. However, once a squad has been chosen, Hathurusingha, Gurusinha and the captain will form the three-man on-tour selection panel that picks the final XI for each match.
This new selection protocol, which was ratified by SLC's extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on yesterday (07/01), is something of a compromise.
