[QUOTE="neo-li, post: 7831872, member: 87532"] [B]Sri Lankan cricket legend Muttiah Muralitharan is planning to retire within the next few days, the BBC Sinhala Service can exclusively reveal.[/B] [B]A source close to the player said: "He is definitely contemplating it. [/B] [B]"He is discussing it with Sri Lanka Cricket and the selectors and it will be a joint decision with them." [/B] [B]Muralitharan, 38, an off-spin bowler with a unique action, has a world record 792 wickets in 132 Test appearances for his country. [/B] [B]Although he is hoping to call it a day in all forms of international cricket, it remains to be seen whether the selectors or skipper Kumar Sangakkara will try to persuade him to continue playing, at least until next year's World Cup, which Sri Lanka are co-hosting. [/B] [B]Muralitharan is the greatest bowler Sri Lanka has ever produced, and one of the finest players to grace the game of cricket. [/B] [B]In addition to his feats in the Test arena, he has also played 337 one-day internationals, taking 515 wickets.
