Jayasuriya to retire from Tests
Jayasuriya, 36, has been one of the stars of Sri Lanka's batting for over a decade. His decision means he won't be touring England this summer, he is Sri Lanka's most prolific batsman in both forms of the game.
Sanath Jayasuriya, the Sri Lankan opener, has announced that he will retire from Test cricket following the current series against Pakistan. However, he will continue his one-day international career and is available for the World Cup next year.
Jayasuriya of late has injury problems and only made the first Test against Pakistan after a late fitness test. However, he made just six and 13 in Colombo and that performance, along with the development of young batsmen such as Upul Tharanga, probably played a part in his decision.
