Chaminda Vaas says goodbye to test cricket

19th july:

Sri Lanka's main pace bowler announced today that he will retire from Test cricket after the third Test against Pakistan, starting on Monday.

The 35-year-old bowler was dropped for the first two Test matches played against the visiting Pakistani team as well as the recently concluded Twenty20 world Championship without a proper reason.

Reportedly the current selection committee wants to remove Vaas from the national team and tomorrow's match would be the farewell Test match for Vaas who played for the country for more than 15 years as the main strike bowler in national cricket team.

However he would continue to play in Twenty20 and one-day international matches.
