Lanka aim clean sweep as Vaas plays his last Test

Sri Lankan fast bowler Chaminda Vaas,35,said on Sunday he would retire from Test cricket after the ongoing Pakistan series,but will continue to play limited-overs internationals. The 110-Test veteran with 354 wickets was overlooked for the first two Tests,but has been recalled for the final match at the risk of changing a winning formula.

There is a good possibility that we may go in with four seamers, Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara said,raising speculations that Mendis might be rested.

Sangakkara hopes to complete a 3-0 sweep against Pakistan in his first Test series as Sri Lanka captain despite a patchy display so far. We have certainly not been at our best in this series, Sangakkara told reporters ahead of the third and final Test starting at the Sinhalese Sports Club here on Monday. It is always good to aim for a sweep,but you cant achieve that without playing your best cricket. We have been patchy,and so has Pakistan.
