Steven Finn and Jonathan Trott insist Test captain Andrew Strauss has the backing of the britain dressing room.
Questions was raised about 35-year-old Strausss future following defeat by Sri Lanka inside the first Test and his recent indifferent form.
"I dont think there may be any question he wont be dependable this summer and beyond," Finn told BBCs Sportsweek.
Trott added: "I dont see anyone else captaining England - well, not for more than one years."
The 75-run defeat in Galle was Englands fourth in a row following the 3-0 whitewash by Pakistan within the United Arab Emirates earlier this year.
Strausss 110 against Australia within the first Ashes Test in Brisbane in November 2010 is his only century in 48 Test innings.

England batting coach and previous captain Graham Gooch said after Thursdays collapse against Sri Lanka that he doesn't believe Strauss will quit.
And Finn believes his Middlesex county colleague continues to be the proper man to steer England within the five-day format.
"Hes an excellent captain and everybody is behind him. Its not a talk that has arise inside the team because nobody thinks it's valid," said the 22-year-old fast bowler.
Trott, who climbed to ninth inside the International Cricket Council Test batting rankings after scoring a second-innings century in Galle, added: "Andrew Strauss is our captain and hell always be my captain as I see it.
"Individuals are 100% behind him. Hes a good looking leader and there's no doubt in my mind hes our captain."
