  • Dilshan to retire after Australia series
Tillakaratne Dilshan, the Sri Lanka
batsman, will retire from international
cricket after the second Twenty20
International against Australia.
Dilshan won't be available to play the
final two One-Day International
matches of the ongoing series since he
has opted to quit 50-overs cricket on
Sunday (August 28) after the third
ODI.
The 39-year-old, who has already
retired from Test cricket, will then take
part in the two-match T20I series and
will play his final match for Sri Lanka
on September 9 in Colombo.

Incidentally, Dilshan had made himself
unavailable for the limited-overs leg
of the the England tour this summer
due to personal reasons. He even had a
few discussions about his future with
Sri Lanka's current chief selector
Sanath Jayasuriya before the ODI
series against Australia.
