MUMBAI (Reuters) - Rangana Herath has urged Sri Lanka's cricket administrators to be patient with the current crop of spinners as they struggle to fill the void left after his retirement in 2018, the left-arm wizard told Reuters.

Sri Lanka boast two spinners in the top 10 in the list of the most successful bowlers in test cricket, with Muttiah Muralitharan leading the tally with 800 wickets and Herath placed 10th.
