Sri Lanka's veteran left-arm spinner Rangana Herath will call it quits from the longest format of the game after the first Test against England at Galle - the same venue where he made his Test debut 19 years ago.

Herath is second on Sri Lanka's list of leading wicket-takers - behind Muttiah Muralitharan, who has 800 wickets.

Among currently active bowlers, he has the third best tally - behind James Anderson and Stuart Broad - on the bowlers' list.

With 430 Test scalps already ahead of his final game, Herath will go down in Test history as the most successful left-arm spinner.
