Kapila reveals why Malinga stepped down

Lasith Malinga stepped down as the T-20 captain due to disappointment over the planning of the team for the World Cup by the Sri Lanka Cricket president and two other players while he was in the position, former chief selector Kapila Wijegunawardena alleges.

Wijegunawardena also says he had come under pressure in the selection process when he was the chairman of selectors.

A selection committee will not be necessary in the future, as the sports minister and the SLC president will do all the decision-making, he says further.
