"This World Cup will be my last outing,"

I am also looking at similar work in New

Muralitharan, who holds the record for the
highest number of wickets in both Test and
one-day cricket was part of Sri Lanka's World
Cup winning side in 1996. He is one of three
spinners in Sri Lanka's squad for the 2011 tournament, the other two being left-arm spinner Ranagana Herath and Ajantha Mendis. "This is my fourth World Cup. We won in 1996 and came close in 2007 by reaching the final. This would be a memorable one for me and for Sri Lankan fans."
