I thought about it long and hard and decided this was the best time to go.

I thought about it long and hard and decided that's it. It's a very emotional moment, but I guess every good thing has to come to an end.

The series is going to be very tough, especially the Australian leg of the tour. It's a big task for us to regroup and get back to winning ways.

It was a sudden decision I took after the first test.

I like to finish it off with the people in Sri Lanka.

I came back and I played a good innings. I'm very happy today. I always enjoy playing in Australia. There is good bounce and the ball carries through.

I want to convey a message to the Sri Lankan government that they should seriously consider sending Sri Lankan Cricket Team to Pakistan.

On the top of the batting list we have pinned our hopes on the Dilshan-Thirima nne combination as they have been putting the runs on the board whenever they have been entrusted with the opening slot.

It is very unlikely that [Lasith Malinga] would be able to play in the World Cup

I am not very happy the way things are going out there in New Zealand,
