Games Minister Navin Dissanayake said that Jayawardene, 37, has agreed to an advanced part in rebuilding the schools and junior level cricket.
Jayawardane, who resigned from ODIs after the World Cup, was one of the finest batsmen to get through the very focused school cricket set up.
He was a splendid batsman for Nalanda College in Colombo, which has created such a variety of Sri Lankan internationals, including Sri Lanka's first Test commander Bandula Warnapura.
In the late years the educational system has neglected to create extraordinary cricketers to be nourished into the national group.
