Former Sri Lanka World Cup winning captain Arjuna Ranatunga has backed star off-spinner and country mate Muttiah Muralitharan to reach the magical 1000 wicket landmark before he retires from cricket. "I hope Murali will get 1,000 [Test] wickets -- and that is a short-term plan. He looks very fit and he trains very hard. I hope that he can continue for at least another three-four years. He never talks about retirement; I mean, he is just unbelievable and hope he can get 1,000 wickets," Ranatunga was quoted as saying to rediff.com
Ranatunga has also backed India’s master batsman
Sachin Tendulkar to play the 2011 World Cup to be staged in Asia.
The 1996 World Cup skipper said Indian authorities need to take care of Tendulkar if he intends to play in the 2011 mega event.
