AFP, COLOMBO: Sri Lankan veteran bowler Rangana Herath on Sunday announced his retirement from the two shortest forms of cricket, saying he wanted to focus on Test matches.
“Every cricketer has to stop at the right time,” Herath said in a statement issued through Sri Lanka Cricket.
“I feel it's time to make room for fresh talent to be groomed with the 2019 World Cup in view.”
The 38-year-old, Herath has played 71 one-day internationals, claiming 74 wickets and conceding 2,362 runs. In the Twenty20 form, he has taken 18 wickets for 373 runs in 17 matches. He made his ODI debut against Zimbabwe in Harare in 2004.
