Dilshan hints at retirement

Sri Lankan batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan has revealed that he is thinking about retiring from Test cricket.

The 36-year-old hinted that his country's match against Australia that starts on Boxing Day could be his last.

"I spoke to my managers and my family about how far I want to play Test cricket and one-dayers," BBC Sport quotes Dilshan as saying.

"I'm definitely going to play in the 2015 World Cup, that's my target but I'm not sure how long I'm going to play Test cricket."

Dilshan made his Test debut for Sri Lanka against Zimbabwe in November 1999.
