Tillakaratne Dilshan: Sri Lanka batsman to retire from international cricket

Sri Lanka batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan, who pioneered the "Dilscoop" flick over the wicketkeeper's head, has announced his international retirement.

Dilshan, 39, will step down after a final one-day international on Sunday and two more Twenty20 internationals next month, all against Australia.

Just limited overs, I believe.

Dilshan is one of only 30 players to have scored 15,000 runs across all three formats of the game. And one of only 7 players to have scored 15,000+ runs and taken 150+ wickets. The other 6 being Kallis, Jayasuriya, SR Waugh, Gayle, Tendulkar and Richards.

A wonderful entertainer, that was always fun to watch, whether it be with bat or ball in hand, or fielding at point.

One of the several cricketers I would pay money to watch!  Be it his fielding, batting or bowling he will always give 100%.  He will be missed by fans all over the world! 

Looks as though Dilshan is already preparing for a career after international cricket:

Dilshan's last walk back to the pavilion.

I believe I saw Ramdin play the so called Dilshan before Dilshan...

Great entertainer and go well in retirement.

It seems as though Dilshan was not best pleased with Angelo Mathews.
