Aravinda de Silva the former Sri Lanka skipper has given resignation from the chairman of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) cricket committee due to personal reasons and this will take effect from June 30, 2017.

Sri Lanka Cricket president Thilanga Sumathipala said in a statement "For someone like Aravinda, cricket is a full-time occupation. As an administrator of his calibre, he eats, drinks and sleeps cricket. It's understandable that he needs to prioritise his personal commitments - he has supported the strategic vision of this administration and been vastly instrumental in many of the developments we have made," 

"We intend to continue to engage Ari's expertise in our key cricketing activities on a consultancy basis" he added.
