No more tests
Sri Lanka opening batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan is retiring from test cricket to make way for the next generation but will still be available for the shorter forms of the game. Sri Lanka Cricket said in a media release yesterday Dilshan,36, would hold a news conference today to officially announce his retirement. The aggressive opener made his test debut in 1999 against Zimbabwe at Bulawayo and appeared in 87 tests. In an international career spanning 14 years Dilshan scored 5,492 runs at an average of 40.98. His 16 centuries included a career-best 193 against England at Lord’s in 2011 as captain.
