Jayasuriya took over as Sri Lanka coach shortly after the 2024 edition of the T20 World Cup, with the former skipper confirming his preference to leave the role early despite his contract scheduled to finish in June this year.
Sri Lanka had managed triumphs from three of their four matches during the initial group stage at the T20 World Cup, but injuries to key duo Wanindu Hasaranga and Matheesha Pathirana derailed their campaign prior to their winless three matches in the Super Eights.
“I think we would have done better for sure,” Jayasuria continued.
“And since we played in Sri Lanka, we had a lot of opportunities to be in the semi-finals. But unfortunately, we are not there. A hundred percent, I feel that we should have done better.
“Yeah because of the inconsistent about some of the games batting, Some of the games was bowling. So if you want to win quite a few games, you need to click the batting and the bowling, both departments, to click really well. Unfortunately, it was not consistent, so that was the key. So we need to be consistent on every department.”
