Unconfirmed reports said that two of Ranatunga's security personnel have been arrested.
The Indian captain was Sachin Tendulkar,
then Sri Lanka's command was in the hands of Arjuna Ranatunga.
Ranatunga was thoroughly convinced that Muralitharan's precocious
talent would signal a new era in Sri Lanka's short Test history.[46].
Ranatunga, in a video posted on his Facebook page,
said:"I was also in India giving commentaries at the time.
But having taken on the task, I want to do it seriously,
and the fact is that Ranatunga helped to put Sri Lanka on the cricket map.
However, Ranatunga said he preferred watching the recent England-South Africa Test series,
which England is leading 2-1 with the fourth Test scheduled to start from August 4.
Ranatunga also said that the company would invest
at least $50 million for several data acquisition projects, including 2D and 3D seismic, in selected offshore areas around Sri Lanka and would recover the investment from sales proceeds to multiple investors.
While the bowler stood with his hands on his hips perplexed, the
five calls provoked an immediate response by the Sri Lankan captain Arjuna Ranatunga who left the field at 3:03 pm
in order to take advice from his team management.
