Sri Lankan spinner calls time on decorated career to concentrate on Test cricket
Sri Lanka spinner Rangana Herath has retired from limited-overs cricket, with the aim of focusing solely on the Test format moving forward. Herath calls time on a 12-year ODI career and a five-year T20 international career, during which he took a combined 92 wickets (74 in ODIs, 18 in T20Is). "Every cricketer has to stop at the right time," he said in a letter to Sri Lanka cricket. "I feel it’s time to make room for fresh talent to be groomed with the 2019 World Cup in view."
