Former Sri Lanka cricketing legend Muttiah Muralitharan has revealed that his brother entered politics to serve the public on a request made by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

Muralitharan mentioned this when addressing an election campaign rally organized in Maskeliya.

His brother Muttiah Prabakaran will contest under the Sri lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) from the Nuwara -Eliya district at the Parliamentary polls.

“Even though I am not interested in politics, based on the request made by the President, I am introducing my brother to represent the upcoming General Election’ he said.

Muralitharan further said he does not like politics and he does not understand the subject.

“As a cricketer I have been able to extend a lot of help to the public. My brother and I will never require money for ourselves. If we require money it will be for the benefit of the public”, he added. (Newswire)
