Muralitharan has represented Sri Lanka in 133 Tests, 350 ODIs, and 12 T20 Internationals. He took 800 Test wickets while picking up 534 scalps in ODIs and 13 in T20s Internationals.

Muralitharan, who has 800 wickets in the longest format of the game, will reason the SRH camp after being discharged from the hospital.
