Kandamby retires

Sri Lanka batsman Thilina Kandamby, 33, has retired from all forms of cricket, he told a news conference at his Sinhalese Sports Club.

A former Ananda College player, Kandamby initially came into the scene representing Sri Lanka at the first and only Under-15 World Cup in England and later went on to captain the Under-19 team.

He played in 39 ODIs and five T20s. He aggregated 870 runs with a highest 93 and his last match was against England in Hambantota in 2014.

Kandamby was considered a player with good leadership but was never given an extended run.

In a parting message Kandamby said he will offer his services to Sri Lanka Cricket if called upon in retirement.
