Dilshan Retires From Test Cricket

Tillakaratne Dilshan retires from the international test crickets. He plans to concentrate more on the Twenty20 and one-day internationals instead of the 5 day endurance run. Dilshan who has been a critical member to the test squad of Srilanka says that he wants more young talent to be in the longer version of game.

"I have decided to take this decision to allow Sri Lanka cricket to groom another youngster in my place," said Dilshan, who had hoped to bow out after this month's two-Test series against Zimbabwe before the tour was called off.

"I was due to announce my retirement after the Zimbabwe Test series but unfortunately the tour was postponed.

"I will discuss my future with the national selectors and if they need me I will play till the 2015 World Cup."

Zimbabwe were Sri Lanka's opponents when Dilshan made his Test debut in Bulawayo in 1999, and he went on to make 87 appearances.

The aggressive batsman scored 5,492 runs at an average of 40.98 including 16 centuries, with a career-best of 193 against England at Lord's in 2011.

Ranbir Kapoor is in Sri Lanka to prepare for his role in Anurag Kashyap's Bombay Velvet and Katrina Kaif is reportedly accompanying him- at least till work commitments come calling. The shooting of her upcoming film Bang Bang has been delayed due to her co-star Hrithik Roshan's surgery and that's why Katrina is spending some quality time with Ranbir.

And while their photographs were clicked at a coffee shop in Sri Lanka, the two also enjoyed a workout session together with Ranbir's trainer. Not so long ago the duo were clicked in Spain while holidaying in Ibiza and while Ranbir has maintained his single status in the past, these pictures by Stardust magazine tell another story.

But if you are waiting for an announcement from the two, it looks like there's a slim chance of that happening. Of the many reasons one could think of, the truth is that they have been involved in very public relationships in the past. Dating a superstar like Salman Khan was never easy. From birthdays to brawls Katrina saw them all. The media circus around it was immense. Ranbir too has gone through the same. He may have scored at the box office with Deepika Padukone in the movie Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani recently but once upon a time things were bitter...
