ESPNcricinfo reported that Muralitharan had a stent fitted to unblock an artery. He will resume his duties once he is discharged and is done with his quarantine.
IPL protocols, specified by concerned authorities, require that Muralitharan put himself in quarantine for some days after the surgery. He will be back in action only after the quarantine phase in view of the coronavirus.
