Sri Lanka Cricket secretary Mohan de Silva has resigned after the national team's disappointing run in the ODI World Cup and especially after the disastrous loss against India. Sri Lanka lost to India by a massive 302 runs in Mumbai on Thursday. They are virtually out of the semifinal race. Ranasinghe blamed the selection committee and the SLC administration for the debacle in a statement.

The SLC administration led by Shammi Silva called for a rport from the team management over the Wankhede disaster which saw the side being all out for 55. Silva was elected uncontested, his third successive term at SLC. His current term was supposed to expire in 2025.

Sri Lanka will play their next game against Bangladesh in Delhi on November 6. They have only two wins from seven games so far.
