COLOMBO: Sri Lankan cricket legend Mahela Jayawardene has rejected a request to provide consultancy services to the struggling national team, saying he has no “trust in the system”. National selectors made a formal request Thursday to hire several legends, including Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, to a special committee advising on how to return to winning ways. Last year Sri Lanka suffered a series Test and one-day whitewash to India on home soil, lost a one-day series to bottom-ranked Zimbabwe, also held in Sri Lanka, and crashed out of the Champions Trophy early. Late last year, Jayawardene, 41, was appointed to a special panel to advise the then-sports minister on corrective measures. But on Thursday he said that his recommendations were ignored and that he did not want a repeat of the experience.
