In the last few months, there is a competition of retirement in the cricket world. One after the other, veteran players were seen retiring. In Indian cricket, veterans like R Ashwin, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma bid farewell to Test cricket. Now another player has to be farewell, for which his Jigri wrote an emotional post. We are talking about the veteran Angelo Mathews, who scored 8 thousand runs of Sri Lanka, who will play their last Test match for Sri Lanka against Bangladesh in Galle.

Represented up to 15 years

Mathews announced last month that he would retire from Test after the first match against Bangladesh in Galle. In 2009, 38 -year -old Mathews made his Test debut against Pakistan at this ground. He has been an important member of Sri Lankan cricket for more than 15 years. He has performed brilliantly as both an all -rounder and a leader.

Chandimal wrote the post

Mathews partner Dinesh Chandimal wrote on the Instagram post, ‘There is no doubt that’ Angi ‘, you are one of the most valuable players of Sri Lankan cricket so far. I consider it good luck and blessings to play with such a talented player for so long. Therefore, I have learned a lot from you as a captain and a player in my cricket career.

Mathews will remember

Dinesh Chandimal further wrote, ‘After today we will never see you and your lovely smile in the field, which has more humanity than a player. After playing with you for a long time in international Test cricket, it is not easy for me to say goodbye. Best wishes to you for the next chapter. Sri Lankan Test cricket will miss you a lot. So in the end, I would say that we came together on the field and made many valuable partnerships. But in the end we made a better friendship.
