Udana, 33, had made his debut back in 2009 T20I World Cup, scalping couple of wickets against Australia.

He was also one of the only Sri Lankan to feature in the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2020 for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

“It is with immense pride and passion, and unfathomable commitment that I have represented and served my country,’’ he added.

In IPL, he played 10 games bagging eight wickets.
