Sri Lankan spin king Muttiah Muralitharan offered governor’s post for Northern Province
The HinduSri Lankan spin legend Muttiah Muralitharan is likely to be governor of the country’s Tamil-dominated Northern Province after President Gotabaya Rajapaksa invited him to accept the post, a media report said on Wednesday. The 47-year-old ace spinner, the record holder for highest wickets in Test cricket, is among the three new governors tipped to be appointed by Mr. Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who registered a thumping victory in the November 16 presidential election. “President Gotabaya Rajapakse had personally invited Muralidharan to accept the post of the Governor of the Northern Province,” the Daily Mirror quoted Presidential Secretariat sources as saying. Mr. Muralitharan is to be appointed as the governor of the Northern Province, while Anuradha Yahampath would become the governor of the Eastern Province and Tissa Vitharana will take charge as the governor of the North Central Province, the report said.
