COLOMBO (Reuters) - Sri Lanka Cricket has not lost faith in skipper Angelo Mathews despite the team's test drubbing in South Africa and backed him to continue as captain until the end of the 2019 World Cup in England and Wales.
The 3-0 whitewash in South Africa triggered speculation about Mathews' future as captain but SLC believes the all-rounder can rebuild the team which still remain in the throes of a transition since stalwarts Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene quit international cricket in 2015.
