Sangakkara resigns as Sri Lanka captain after defeat in World Cup final
Kumar Sangakkara stepped down today as captain of Sri Lanka's ODI and T20 teams three days after his side's defeat to India in the final of the World Cup.
He has, however, offered to continue to lead the Test side on an interim basis for the upcoming series against England and Australia "if this is considered helpful for the new captain".
Sangakkara was the third highest scorer in the 2011 World Cup and scored 48 in their defeat to India in the final.
