Dimuth Karunaratne wants to step down as captain after Ireland Tests next month

Dimuth Karunaratne wants to step down as Test captain after the Ireland Tests next month. It is an ongoing conversation with the Sri Lanka selectors, who have not accepted his resignation yet. But after four years in the job, and with a fresh World Test Championship (WTC) cycle looming, Karunaratne – who turns 35 in April – wants to hand over to a new captain for the next cycle, with the Ireland Tests not a part of the current WTC.
