The coaching reshuffle reportedly follows Sri Lanka’s T20I series loss to Bangladesh at home in July.
Wood has signed a one-year contract with SLC. Earlier this year, he conducted a week-long “power-hitting programme” with Sri Lanka’s players and earned praise for his work.
He had also worked briefly with Bangladesh as their batting coach in August, though his short-term deal was not renewed after September.
Kandamby had been serving as Sri Lanka’s batting coach since December 2023, while Wijetunge had been part of the setup since 2006 as the long-serving spin-bowling coach.
