Sri Lanka bowler Chaminda Vaas will retire from Test cricket after this week’s third Test against Pakistan in Colombo.
The 35-year-old left-arm seam bowler says he is keen to continue playing Twenty20 and one-day internationals and that he would explain his decision following the Test.
The recent accounts comes following a fairly public falling out through the national chief of selectors Ashantha de Mel.
Earlier in the home series against Pakistan, De Mel had gone public saying Vaas would retire from Tests, which the bowler denied, but having been included in the Test squad, he revealed it will be his latest game.
Vaas played in 110 Tests, excitement 354 wickets, second only to Muttiah Muralitharan in teh Sri lanka record books. Despite starting to the degree that a bowler, he developed in to an accomplished allrounder, scoring over 3,000 Test runs as spring.
