12 April 2012
Sri Lanka all-rounder Sanath Jayasuriya has announced he is retiring from Test cricket after the first Test against England.
The 38-year-old, who has played 188 Tests with an average of 40.07, signed off with a knock of 78 in Sri Lanka's second innings.
"This is my last Test match - I'm retiring from Test cricket after this game," he told Sky Sports. "I will be continuing with one-day cricket."
He added: "I'm proud of playing more than 100 Test matches in my career. I was thinking before the England series that I would finish it off here.
"It's the best opportunity to retire from Test cricket and I've decided this would be my last game."
