Sri Lanka's top off spinner may play on his own turf, literally as Sri Lanka plan to name one of the stadiums being built for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 after him.

The stadium being built at Pallekele in Kandy district will be named after their son of the soil, Muttiah Muralitharan. It will be known hereafter as the Muttiah Muralitharan International Cricket Stadium.
The best part is that Murali could well be in action himself when the World Cup comes around as he has made himself available for the Sri Lankan squad should they require him.
Sri Lanka are due to play in one of the three matches scheduled in the course of the World Cup: Pakistan v New Zealand on March 8, Sri Lanka v Zimbabwe on March 10 and Pakistan v Zimbabwe on March 14.
