TILLAKARATNE DILSHAN considered following Lasith Malinga into retirement from Test cricket this year, and Australian Big Bash teams were keen on signing one of the world’s most potent short-form batsmen. Fortunately for Sri Lanka, Dilshan decided to stick around for one more Test tour of Australia.
