Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has expressed disappointment at former captain Mahela Jayawardene taking up the role of consultant with the England team for the upcoming ICC World T20.
Jayawardena is to continue his batting mentor's role with the England team, a job he had already performed with them in the UAE in the last series against Pakistan.
"A cricketer joining another nation so close to his retirement is not a good thing, SLC chairman Thilanga Sumathipala said.
"I am of the view that a player who retires from international cricket should not be allowed to work as an expert of another team at least for a period of two years," Sumathipala said.
