COLOMBO, JAN. 6. Sri Lankan off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, who narrowly avoided last week's tsunami, said on Thursday he is keen to take part in a charity cricket match to help the victims, despite nursing a shoulder injury. "It (the shoulder recovery) is still not 100 per cent, it must be about 70-80 per cent. But it's very important to play since this is a charity match," Muralitharan told The Associated Press. Muralitharan will be part of the Asian XI that plays the World XI on Monday in Melbourne to raise funds to help the tsunami victims. The bowler has not played any cricket since August when he had surgery to treat a lesion, which had caused a build-up of fluid around the nerves in his right shoulder. Muralitharan, the second leading wicket taker in Test cricket behind Australia's Shane Warne, signed up as an ambassador with World Food Program last year. A member of the island's minority Tamil community, Muralitharan said he travelled around the country including areas controlled by the Tamil Tiger rebels with the WFP relief convoy and received total cooperation from the guerillas. — AP
