COLOMBO, Nov 30: Sri Lanka off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan is poised to recapture the world Test wickets record during the first Test against England starting on Saturday.
Muralitharan needs five victims in his home town of Kandy to overhaul Shane Warne’s mark of 708. The Australian leg-spinner retired this year.
“It will be a great moment for him to do it in Kandy, his hometown, and as captain I’m certainly hoping for the five wickets,” captain Mahela Jayawardene said on Thursday.—Reuters
