Colombo: Sri Lanka's cricket legend Sanath Jayasuriya has been made the head of a new five-member selection panel for the national team, Sri Lanka Cricket announced. The 43-year-old star from the 1996 World Cup-winning team said he was keen to encourage younger players after he was confirmed in the new role on Monday.

"I am looking forward to start a new journey with young talent to steer Sri Lanka cricket to the winning streak without hurting anyone," Jayasuriya told the state-run Daily News.

The former captain is now a member of parliament representing the ruling United People's Freedom Alliance of President Mahinda Rajapakse. The others in the selection board are: Pramodya Wickramasinghe, Hemantha Wickremarathne, Chaminda Mendis and Eric Upashantha.
