    Sri Lanka Opener Dimuth Karunaratne To Retire After His 100th Test In Galle

    By IANS News February 04, 2025 • 13:54 PM View: 683
    World Test Championship: Sri Lanka opener and former skipper Dimuth Karunaratne is set to retire from international cricket after the second Test against Australia in Galle, starting Thursday, which will be his 100th long format game for his country.

    The 36-year-old, who has led Sri Lanka in 30 Tests, has made the decision to retire following a poor batting form at the top of the order. Over the last 14 months, he has faced significant struggles, with an average of just 27.05 since the beginning of 2024.

    In his last seven Tests, Karunaratne has accumulated only 182 runs, with his only notable contribution being a single half-century against New Zealand in September 2024.
