India are rightly at No 1 spot in Tests: Murali
PTI

JOHANNESBURG: Sri Lankan captain Kumar Sangakkara might find the ICC rankings system flawed but the country's retired spin wizard Muttiah Muralitharan feels it is alright and India are a deserving number one in the Test Championships table.

 

Sangakkara last month questioned the system and said it was not fair as the ICC had not devised a proper home-and-away format in its Future Tour Programme.

 Muralitharan, however said it was not necessary for a team to beat all other sides on tours before becoming number one. “India deserve to be the number one Test side because they won a lot of matches. They won against Australia in Australia, they won against England in England and they drew the recent series in Sri Lanka 1-1,” he said on the eve of the launch of Champions League Twenty20 here.
