Ex-SL Skipper Angelo Mathews Announces Retirement From Test Cricket
Former Sri Lanka: Former Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews has said that he will retire from Test cricket after playing in the side’s first game of a five-match series against Bangladesh, set to happen in Galle from June 17-21. In 118 Tests, Mathews has amassed 8167 runs at an average of 44.62, while picking 33 wickets.
“It is time for me to say goodbye to the most cherished format of the game, International Test Cricket! The past 17 years of playing cricket for Sri Lanka has been my highest honour and pride. Nothing can match that feeling of patriotism and servitude when one dons the National Jersey.
“I have given my everything to cricket and Cricket has given me everything in return and made me the person that I am today. I stand grateful to the game and thankful to the thousands of Sri Lanka Cricket fans who have been there for me throughout my career during my highest of highs and lowest of lows.
