Sirils spinner Muttiah Muralitharan says he has forgiven former Aussie PM John Howard for calling him a chucker, but says the future President of the ICC has a tough task if he's to win the support of Asia.

At one point in his career Muralitharan said he'd refuse to tour Australia again following Howard's controversial comments, which suggested Muralitharan's bowling action was illegal.

But Murali has, apparently, let bygones be bygones and said he no longer harbours any anger toward the former Prime Minister who will take the job of Vice President before his ascension to the top gig.

''I'm not upset or angry with him or anything. At the time, I thought it was wrong - that was my opinion and he had his. It was not appropriate at the time but it's all [in the] past," Murali said.

''We've got to think about the future: how is he going to handle things in cricket? It won't be an easy job. He has to convince the subcontinent - that's going to be a tough challenge for him.''

Unfortunately, journalists failed to get Muralitharan to comment on Howard's bowling action... as seen below.

What does John Howard know about cricket? he can't find a job and they let him because hes a former Prime Minister. Will it help the ICC? Doubt it. The guy was a political joke and now a future ICC joke
