Sri Lanka Cricket chief Arjuna Ranatunga is looking forward to seeing Sachin Tendulkar back in action - despite the fact the India batsman may well break Brian Lara’s world record for Test runs against his team.
The first of three Tests between the nations got off to a delayed start at the SSC grounds in Colombo on Wednesday, with the 35-year-old Tendulkar requiring 172 runs to past West Indies legend Lara’s mark of 11,953.

And Ranatunga cannot wait to see the ‘Little Master’ start picking off the runs.
"Everyone in Lanka is keen to see him bat in real cricket and not cowboy (shorter version) cricket," Ranatunga is reported to have said, according to cricket365.com.
"There are no words to describe him. One has to just look at his record. It says everything. He is the best batsman I have seen," Sri Lanka’s 1996 World Cup winning captain added.
