Former Sri Lanka Cricket Captain T.M.Dilshan will announce his retirement from international Test cricket tomorrow, the Sri Lanka Cricket said today.

Meanwhile in an interview with ESPN Dilshan said “I have taken this decision to allow Sri Lanka Cricket to groom another youngster in my place,” Dilshan, 36, said on Wednesday. “I was to announce my retirement after the Zimbabwe Test series but unfortunately the tour was postponed.”

Sri Lanka was to tour Zimbabwe from October and the tour itinerary included two Tests.

His 16 Test centuries included a career-best 193 against England at Lord’s in 2011 as captain.

Dilshan will continue to play in the shorter formats for his country, however. “I will discuss my future with the national selectors and if they need me I will play till the 2015 World Cup,” Dilshan said.
