De Silva's resignation came after the sports minister Roshan Ranasinghe's call for the mass resignation of the SLC administration following the team's heavy loss to India. Ranasinghe, in a statement, blamed the selection committee and the SLC administration for the debacle.
The SLC administration led by Shammi Silva had called for a probe report from the team management over the Wankhede hammering which saw the side being bundled out for 55.
Silva was elected uncontested as chair, his third successive term at SLC. His current term expires only in 2025.
