The 36-year-old made his five-day debut against Zimbabwe way back in 1999 and has gone on to play 87 Tests, with 16 hundreds and 23 half-centuries. His attacking style at the top of the order won him many admirers around the world but always gave opposition opening bowlers a chance of taking his wicket, and a Test average of 40.98, while commendable, does not really do justice to his undoubted talent. The Kalutara-born ace hit his highest Test score of 193 against England at Lord&#8217;s in 2011 and he went out of a high, scoring 57 against Bangladesh in March this year in his final innings in the longest version of the game. The hard-hitting right-hander will continue to play one-day and Twenty20 cricket and it is in the shorter forms of cricket that he has excelled. Dilshan has played 267 one-day internationals to date, scoring 7,643 runs at an average of 37.46 and with a strike-rate of more than 86. He has plundered 17 centuries in 50-over cricket, while an average of nearly 30 in the 20-over"}
