Nuwan Kulasekara retires from International Cricket

Colombo (News 1st): Sri Lankan paceman Nuwan Kulasekara has decided to call time on his international career with immediate effect. The announcement means Kulasekara will end as the third-highest ODI wicket-taker for Sri Lanka among pacemen and fifth-highest overall on the Sri Lankan charts. Kulasekara’s retirement comes a day after Malinga, with whom he developed a strong partnership over most of the last decade, announced his decision to retire from ODIs after the first match against Bangladesh on Friday (July 19).
