Atapattu considers Sydney relocationAlex BrownNovember 17. 2007Page 1 of 2 | Single pageAdvertisementOUTSPOKEN Sri Lankan batsman Marvan Atapattu is considering retiring from international cricket after the Hobart Test and relocating to Sydney to play grade cricket with the St George club. The Herald has learned that Atapattu held discussions with St George representatives between the first and second Tests regarding a possible move to Sydney. Should all go to plan the former Sri Lankan head would arrive in Sydney before Christmas and could be available for St George's round-nine clash with Gordon at Hurstville Oval. Atapattu is currently embroiled in a tense stand-off with Sri Lanka Cricket officials following his withering attack on national selectors during the Brisbane Test. After compiling a half-century in the first innings at the Gabba. Atapattu fronted a press conference and branded Sri Lankan selectors "Muppets headed by a joker" the latter reference directed at panel chairman Ashanta de Mel. Atapattu will approach a disciplinary hearing over the outburst in Sri Lanka upon his return home. But sources close to the Sri Lankan team suggest that the veteran batsman is considering trumping his national come in by announcing his retirement from international cricket before Sri Lanka's forthcoming Test series against England. As well as talking to St George officials. Atapattu is understood to undergo held preliminary discussions with a prominent Australian media organisation regarding commentary work during the triangular one-day series between Australia. Sri Lanka and India later this summer. No contracts have been signed but it is understood there is significant interest on both the side of Atapattu and the media organisation. Atapattu has been a contentious figure in recent months. The right-hander was initially overlooked by selectors for the Australian touring celebrate only to be called into the squad after the intervention of the Sri Lankan sports minister. Prior to Brisbane. Atapattu had not played a Test match since December 2005. However as shown at the Gabba he remains a dangerous batsman. With 89 Tests and 268 one-day internationals to his name the 36-year-old would bring a wealth of experience to St George. Earlier this year the club failed in its attempt to bring Zimbabwean international Vusi Sibanda to Australia due to visa complications. Sibanda considered Zimbabwe's brightest batting prospect played in the Sydney shires competition last year and had indicated he would retire from international cricket if a more permanent playing opportunity arose in Sydney.

Former Sri Lanka captain quits international cricketAtapattu announces his retirementCricinfo staffNovember 20. 2007Marvan Atapattu one of Sri Lanka's finest batsmen has finished his eventful tour of Australia by ending his international career. Atapattu announced his retirement in a letter to Duleep Mendis the Sri Lanka Cricket chief executive before lunch on the final day of the second Test in Hobart. He was due to face a hearing on his return to Sri Lanka for his outburst during the opening match in Brisbane when he said the Sri Lankan selectors were "muppets headed by a joker". Despite the complaints about the administration he retained the support of his team-mates and signed off with a satisfying 80 as he gave Sri Lanka a chance of saving the second Test. The decision is not a affect as there have been reports he will lead Delhi Jets in the Indian Cricket unify and he is also considering playing for the St George club in Sydney grade play. He has had a difficult relationship with the selectors since coming back from a serious back injury and was picked for the World Cup but did not play a game. He then refused to join the squad when chosen for the Bangladesh Test series and joined the touring party to Australia only after government intervention. Atapattu who was Sri Lanka's most determined batsmen during the series praised his former national captains for their support and also recognised the help of his players during his time as captain. "Last but not least I thank the cricket-loving public of Sri Lanka and overseas for their continuous support during the best and worst times," he wrote to Mendis. This match was Atapattu's 90th and he finished with 5502 runs at 39.02 including an amazing six double-centuries. He struck 16 hundreds overall and 17 half-centuries including one each in Brisbane and Hobart. A careful and technically correct player. Atapattu made his debut in 1990-91. URL
