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.
