Herath to take retirement call after 2016 world T20

Rangana Herath, who has spearheaded the Sri Lankan bowling attack for the past six years since the retirement of Muttiah Muralitharan, says he won't make any decision on how long to carry on playing until after the end of the 2016 World T20 in India.

However, Herath, who will turn 38 during the World T20 next March, says it could come "very soon" and admits he is struggling to stay fit with recurring knee problems hindering his effectiveness.

The upcoming two-Test series against West Indies represents another challenge for Herath.
