The four names that have been sent by the SLC to the Ministry are Hemantha Wickramaratne, Kapila Wijegunawardena, Romesh Kaluwitharana, and Waruna Waragoda. Out of the above four, two will be included in the new committee under Wickramasinghe, it is learnt. Wickramasinghe and Mendis have reportedly not been a part of the recent selection process, it is also learnt. No collective decision-making has been there during both the South African and England series, where the Lankans lost 2-0 on both occasions in Tests. The names will be considered by the National Sports Selection Committee and then by the National Sports Council under Mahela Jayawardene before the Ministry officially announces, most probably next week, the new national selectors.
