Muralitharan signs for Caribbean Premier League


Former Sri Lankan spin bowler Muttiah Muralitharan has been confirmed as the sixth international franchise player for Caribbean Premier League (CPL).


The 41-year-old, Muralitharan, has a record of taking more international wickets than any other player in history, with 1347 scalps across Test, ODI and Twenty20 International formats.

"I am really looking forward to playing in the first ever CPL -- it is going to be a fantastic spectacle for fans and a great experience for all players involved," Muralitharan said.

"I am good friends with a number of the West Indian players, especially Chris Gayle as we play together in IPL, and having the chance to play on a team with guys competing in their home countries will be fantastic for me. I am also excited that there will be so many young West Indian players involved in the tournament and I hope to pass on some of my cricketing experiences as the tournament progresses. I can't wait for it to get started!"
