Muralitharan ruled out of Twenty20 Champi

Muralitharan ruled out of Twenty20 Championship


August 30, 2007

Muttiah Muralitharan has sustained an elbow injury which will rule him out of next month's Twenty20 World Championships in South Africa.

"Murali is affected by an elbow injury and he will be out for four to six weeks," Kangadaran Mathivanan, the secretary of the Sri Lankan cricket board, told AFP. "He is definitely out of the Twenty20 [World Championships]."

While playing for Lanchashire on Wednesday, Murali walked off the field with shoulder trouble after bowling more than 33 overs against Kent. Murali, who became the quickest to take 200 wickets for Lanchashire, was putting in his last county appearance this season and was scheduled to fly home over the weekend to join the Sri Lankan team's preparations for the Twenty20 World Championships.
