"I have very carefully considered my position as a player, husband and am taking this decision looking forward to fatherhood and associated familial obligations," he wrote.
Rajapaksa, who was Sri Lanka's leading scorer in the 2010 Under-19 World Cup, made his T20I debut in the tour of Pakistan in 2019. The ODI bow came last year at home against India.
