ICC T20 T20 World Cup: After Sri Lanka's narrow loss to Pakistan in the T20 World Cup Super 8 stage, head coach Sanath Jayasuriya has decided to step down from his role.

Sri Lanka missed out on qualifying for the knockout stages of the ongoing tournament, with the island nation suffering a third straight loss in the Super Eights phase after going down to Pakistan by three runs in Pallekele on Saturday.

Jayasuriya plans to sit down with officials to discuss his future as the co-hosts come to terms with the completion of their disappointing campaign at the ICC T20 T20 World Cup.
