My dear friends and family,

With a grateful heart and unforgettable memories.

It is time for me to say goodbye to the most cherished format of the game, International Test Cricket!

The past 17 years of playing cricket for Sri Lanka has been my highest honour and pride.

Nothing can match that feeling of patriotism and servitude when one dons the National Jersey.

I have given my everything to cricket and Cricket has given me everything in return and made me the person that I am today.

I stand grateful to the game and thankful to the thousands of Sri Lanka Cricket fans who have been there for me throughout my career during my highest of highs and lowest of lows.

The first test match against Bangladesh in June will be my last red-ball appearance for my country.

Whilst I bid adieu to the test format, as discussed with selectors I will remain available for selection for the white ball formats, if and when my country needs me.

I believe this test team is a talented side with many future and present greats playing the game.

Now seems like the best time to make way for a younger player to take the mantle to shine for our nation.

I want to thank almighty GOD, my beloved parents my beautiful wife and amazing children along with my family and closest friends who have collectively always believed in me, backed me and stood by me through and through.

Furthermore, I wish to extend my special thanks and gratitude to Sri Lanka cricket ,my school st’Joseph’s college colombo and all the coaches for their support right throughout my career.

A note of thanks to my management team for their dedication and hard work over the years.

A chapter ends, but the love for the game will always remain.

With much love and pride,
Yours truly,
Angelo Davis Mathews by @ange69mathews

Some places you leave behind… but they never leave you. 💙🤍

Walking back through the gates of St. Joseph’s College for Colors Night as Chief Guest was one of those moments that touched me deeply.

This is home.

Long before the international stadiums, the victories, the disappointments, the celebrations and the challenges, I was simply a young Josephian with a dream.

These grounds taught me so much more than cricket. They taught me to dream big, to work hard, to stand together as a team, to respect the game and, most importantly, to never give up — no matter how difficult the journey becomes.

Standing in front of the young Josephians who are now beginning their own journeys brought back so many memories. I could see a little bit of the younger me in them — the excitement, the ambition, the belief and the hunger to make their families and their school proud.

To receive the honour of being the Chief Guest tonight is something I will always treasure. But the greatest honour is knowing that I once wore these colours and called myself a Josephian.
Once a Josephian, always a Josephian.
