Murali decider

The Lancashire Evening Telegraph

Lancashire expect to know this weekend whether Muttiah Muralitharan will be their overseas player this summer.

The county expect a definite answer from the Sri Lankan management in the next two days.

Reports that the Old Trafford attentions have turned to Indian sensation Anil Kumble are premature.

And Lancashire may even decide to target a batsman should Muralitharan's services be retained by Sri Lanka.

Kumble, however, and even Australian leg-spinner Stuart MacGill, would be possible names in the frame if the county was forced to renew their search.
