 Murali plans retirement from Tests
Friday, July 31, 2009
DAMBULLA: Muttiah Muralitharan has said he will retire from Test cricket at the end of Sri Lanka’s home series against West Indies in November 2010.

Speaking at the end of the first ODI against Pakistan, in which he was awarded the Man of the Match, Murali said he will focus on representing his country in one-day cricket until the 2011 World Cup and thereafter will stick to Twenty20 cricket.

Murali, 37, is the world’s leading wicket-taker in Test cricket with 770 at 22.18 from 127 Tests. He passed Shane Warne’s Test record of 708 wickets against England in December 2007, fittingly on his home ground in Kandy. He achieved the grand double of being the highest wicket-taker in ODIs as well when he went past Wasim Akram’s record of 502 wickets in 2009.
