Vaas, however, said he had not spoken to the selectors and denied he had made up his mind to quit.

"I have not retired from Test cricket," he told AFP. "I have not even spoken to de Mel or any other selector."

Vaas, a 110-Test veteran, was overlooked for the Test series against Pakistan which began at the Galle International Stadium on Saturday.

The selectors did not pick him even after spin master Muttiah Muralitharan was ruled out of the first Test due to a knee injury, leaving the Sri Lankan attack short of experience.
