In a statement released by organizers, the 41-year-old Muralitharan says “I am good friends with a number of the West Indian players... and having the chance to play on a team with guys competing in their home countries will be fantastic for me.”

Money money money......The one who loves money is never satisfied with money..Money cannot satisfy a hungry soul. Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it!!!
