Former Sri Lanka batsman Marvan Atapattu will continue as the national team’s acting head coach until the end of the upcoming series against Pakistan in August.

Even though Atapattu is likely to become Sri Lanka’s permanent head coach, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) have decided to allow other candidates to apply for the job.

“We’ll be advertising the position in this Sunday’s paper,” SLC chief executive Ashley de Silva said.
