    The Test veteran had stated in December last year that he is considering retirement after the Australia series.

    A veteran of 79 Tests, Samaraweera has amassed 5439 runs at a world-class 50.36 but said he could pull the pin after Sri Lanka’s two-Test home series against Bangladesh.

    “I will play these three Test matches in Australia and two in Sri Lanka in February and then I will see,” Samaraweera was quoted as saying by media.

    “After that we don’t have any Test cricket until October or November, I have to play some competitive cricket because at my age your reflexes get slower and you have to keep playing,” he added.

    “I have to decide how much longer I can play because we have a long break. It’s very hard to see how many years I can go on,” he said.
