​Colombo: Former Sri Lankan batsman Sanath Jayasuriya has returned as the country's chief selector, a year after he stepped down from the role.

Jayasuriya, who held the post from January 2013 to March 2015, will replace Aravinda de Silva's committee.

Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) secretary Mohan de Silva confirmed the news and said that Jayasuriya had earlier joined de Silva's panel the weeks before his appointment in order to provide continuity.

"The other members of the four-person panel are former wicketkeeper-batsman Romesh Kaluwitharana, who was once Jayasuriya's opening partner; former fast bowler Eric Upashantha, who has worked in a Jayasuriya-led committee in the past; and former offspinner Ranjith Madurasinghe, who is a member of the present selection committee under Aravinda de Silva.", de Silva was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo.

Jayasuriya, whose tenure saw Sri Lanka win World T20 and a Test series in England in 2014, is set to take office on May 1 and will remain in the post for two years.
