"I'm definitely going to play in the 2015 World Cup"

Sri Lankan opener Tillakaratne Dilshan showed he still has what it takes to perform at the highest level after notching up 147 in the second innings of his side's 137-run loss to Australia in Hobart.

Dilshan intends to return Down Under for the 2015 ODI World Cup, but his career in Tests is set to hinge on a discussion with his family after the current series.  


"Sydney will be my last Test outside Sri Lanka. We have some home Test matches against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh next year and if there are young players waiting to fit into the opener’s role I will step aside and give my place to them," 


"I'm definitely going to play in the 2015 World Cup, but I'm not sure how long I'm going to play Test cricket."
