Galle: As Sri Lankan cricket's greatest ambassador Kumar Sangakkara prepares to bow out, he termed his decade and a half in the game as a "great one" with the biggest regret being not able to win the ICC ODI World Cup despite being a part of two summit clashes.

"I would have loved to win a 50-over World Cup. We had two chances but we didn't convert them. It would have been great had we won a Test series in India as well. So there are things that could have been but I think that's the way the game goes," Sangakkara, one of the most articulate man to have graced the cricket field told reporters during his farewell press conference. Sangakkara said that there are regrets but he would not lose his sleep over them.
