Sri Lanka Cricket has appointed TM Dilshan as the national captain in all three formats of the game for the tour of England in May 2011.


The national selectors have postponed the appointment of a vice captain, since the prospective candidates are nursing injuries, and their availability for the forthcoming tour is still in question.
Sangakkara, currently leading the Deccan Chargers in the Indian Premier League, resigned from the captaincy in the aftermath of the loss to India in the April 2 World Cup final.

His resignation was followed by that of his deputy Mahela Jayawardene and the chairman of selectors Aravinda de Silva.
