COLOMBO (Reuters) -Former Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews will quit test cricket after the series opener against Bangladesh next month but will be available for white-ball selection, the all-rounder said on Friday.

Mathews will be 38 when Sri Lanka take on Bangladesh in Galle on June 17 in what would be his 119th and final test.
