    colombo: 'retired hurt'. there couldn't have been a more apt title for the autobiography of former sri lankan star batsman roshan mahanama. he announced his retirement from international cricket in august 1999, just two days after being sacked from both the lankan one-day and test squad. his pride was hurt.
