"The national coach has indicated of his unavailability to continue after his contract expires in January 2014," Sri Lanka Cricket said in a statement.

"He has taken this decision consequent to the discussions he had with his family on the options given by Sri Lanka Cricket."

Ford, 52, who made known his decision to step down earlier this month, had been requested by the Sri Lankan board to reconsider after being offered undisclosed options.

Ford's last assignment with Sri Lanka will be a series of three Tests, five one-day internationals and two Twenty20 games against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates in December.

Ford, a former South Africa coach who replaced Australian Pakiff Marsh in early 2012, has been linked to the vacant coaching position with English county side Surrey.
