Cricket-Dilshan tenders resignation as captain-SLC


 Sri Lanka's Tillakaratne Dilshan has resigned as captain, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) said on Monday, a day after the end of his team's losing tour to South Africa.
"T.M. Dilshan sent his resignation from the captaincy of the national team to Sri Lanka Cricket a short while ago," SLC said in a text message alert to its subscribers.
In South Africa, Sri Lanka lost the three-match test series 2-1 and five-match one-day series 3-2.
Taking over from former captain Kumar Sangakkara after a six-wicket defeat in the 2011 World Cup final against India, Dilshan led the team to England and in a home series against Australia but failed to win those too.
