Resignations hit Sri Lanka after defeat

Sri Lanka vice-captain Mahela Jayawardene and the country's four selectors have resigned following the World Cup final defeat by India.
They follow Kumar Sangakkara, who quit as one-day and 20/20 captain on Tuesday, but remains as Test captain.
Ex-captain Jayawardene said the time was right to "move on".
The selectors, headed by former national skipper Aravinda de Silva, handed their resignations to Sri Lanka's sports minister yesterday.
The quartet's term was due to end at the end of the month but De Silva, alongside Ranjith Fernando, Amal Silva and Azwer Ali chose to leave early in the wake of the six-wicket defeat by India in Mumbai on Saturday.
