Chris Silverwood, head coach of the Sri Lankan cricket team, has resigned after the team’s poor performance in the International Cricket Council (ICC) T20 World Cup.

Sri Lanka Cricket Board confirmed that Chris Silverwood has resigned from his position citing personal reasons.

“Being an international coach requires a lot of time away and I have decided to step down after detailed consultations with family and close friends. Now is the time to spend some time with my family.”
