Sri Lankan cricketing legend Kumar Sangakkara said Monday he will resign from five star cricket toward the finish of the present English province title season in September.
The 39-year-old—fifth in the rundown ever Test run scorers averaging more than 57 keeps running in 134 Tests, making 11 twofold centuries—is still in prime shape having scored two centuries for Surrey in their match with Middlesex which completed on Monday.
In any case, Sangakkara—additionally one of the record-breaking incredible restricted overs batsmen and an individual from the Sri Lanka side that achieved both the 2007 and 2011 World Cup finals (losing to Australia and India separately) - said he could detect the time was on the whole correct to resign.
"You attempt to battle the inescapable however you have to advance out while you're beyond," Sangakkara, who was a vital individual from the Sri Lanka group that lifted the 2014 World Twenty20 trophy and lost in both the 2009 and 2012 finals, told the BBC.
"It's the last time I'll play a four-day diversion here. I'll be 40 in a couple of months, this is about the finish of my time in region cricket."
Sangakkara, who framed a swashbuckling association on many events with individual Sri Lankan legend Mahela Jayawardene, said he would not like to make the mistake of exceeding his welcome.
"The greatest misstep that occasionally you can make is that you believe you're superior to anything you truly are," he said.
"Cricketers, or any kind of sportsperson, have an expiry date and you have to leave.
"I have been exceptionally fortunate to play for whatever length of time that I did as such however there's significantly more life to be lived far from the diversion."
