KUMAR SANGAKKARA, SRI LANKAN CAPTAIN

Kumar Sangakkara announced his retirement

      Kumar Sangakkara has quit the post of the Sri Lankan captain. This comes just three days after Sri Lanka's World Cup final defeat at the hands of India. He has also announced his retirement from One Day Internationals & Twenty-20s. All-rounder Angelo Mathews and opening batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan are the likely contenders to replace Sangakkara as the Sri Lankan skipper.   Kumar Sangakkara however, who was the third highest scorer in the 2011 World Cup with 465 runs to his credit, has offered to stay for the Australia and England Test
