Sri Lanka women’s cricket team head coach Jamie Siddons has suddenly left the country, prompting the reappointment of former coach Rumesh Ratnayake to the position.The Australian reportedly left Sri Lanka unexpectedly for personal reasons, despite the women’s team having two tours ahead of them.His contract was due to run until March next year. However, Sri Lanka Cricket has yet to provide a clear explanation for his departure, which comes ahead of a tour by the formidable Australian team scheduled for next month.Despite his experience as a coach, Siddons is reportedly short-tempered and intolerant of even minor irritations.

He is also said to have faced removal from his coaching position on several occasions while working with Bangladesh.Reports also indicate that the Sri Lanka women’s team players were not particularly impressed with him.Although he has reportedly not submitted a formal resignation, Siddons is understood to have returned the computer and mobile phone provided to him by Sri Lanka Cricket through a driver at Bandaranaike International Airport in Katunayake.
