Bengal on Monday came out with a prize catch for its campaign in the forthcoming Ranji Trophy season by roping in Sri Lankan spin wizard and Test cricket’s highest wicket-taker Muttiah Muralitharan.

The Cricket association of Bengal (CAB) managed to rope in the legendary off-spinner after pondering over scores of names including his compatriot Sanath Jayasuriaya and Australia’s Ricky Ponting.

Sri Lanka Cricket has already given the 36-year-old spinner a no-objection certificate to play for Bengal in the 2008-09 Ranji Trophy season.

“The Lankan board chief, Duleep Mendis, has sent across a fax to us, mentioning that Muralitharan will be available for Bengal in the upcoming first-class engagements,” CAB president Jagmohan Dalmiya said.

Following the confirmation of the SLC’s letter, the CAB also obtained a green signal from the BCCI, added Dalmiya. Bengal open their Ranji Trophy (Plate League) campaign against Assam in Guwahati on November 3.
