Former Sri Lanka skipper Sanath Jayasuriya has reacted sharply at the national team's poor show in the recently-concluded T20I series against England.

Sri Lanka couldn't cross the 130-run mark in any of the matches as England inflicted a 3-0 whitewash by winning the third match on Saturday.

"Very sad day for Sri Lankan cricket. The situation is critical. We need immediate measures to save cricket," Jayasuriya wrote on Twitter.

Sri Lanka, last month, lost the three-match ODI series 1-2 to Bangladesh. Sri Lanka are scheduled to play three ODIs against England, beginning tomorrow, after which they host India in a six-match limited-overs series (three ODIs and three T20Is), starting on July 13.
