Muttiah Muralitharan, who is currently in Australia recovering from surgery on his problematic right shoulder, is set to marry an Indian girl, Mathimalar Ramamurthy, in a ceremony in Chennai on March 21, according to a report in the Hindustan Times.


The bride, 24, is a relative from Murali's female line of descent, as per the ancient Tamil custom of seeking brides from among cousins. Her father, Mathimalar, is one of the directors of Malar Hospital, a multi-speciality hospital in Adyar.



Murali's father is the owner of a biscuit factory in Kandy, and the family also owns the well-known Ramya Hotel in Tiruchi in southern Tamil Nadu. As the only Tamil in the Sri Lankan cricket team, Murali's ties with southern India are strong.

Hopefully he has crooked arms, that wrist and becomes an Indian citizen. I think Murali's parents themselves were immigrants from TN (Tiruchy, I'm not sure though)

Whats a Tamil
Tamil is a language spoken in southern India (called Tamil Nadu) and parts of Sri Lanka. Quite an ancient one too.
