"On the off chance that Sri Lanka loses, [the board] will say it is a direct result of Murali," he said in a recorded proclamation which was sent to AFP.
"They have no privilege to blame me for being a double crosser. Have they done one hundredth of what I have added to cricket in Sri Lanka?
"This is a political diversion to cover their inadequacies," he included. "I am being utilized as a pawn to cover their failings."
His upheaval was started by a dissension by the board that he had tormented groundsmen into letting the Australianspractise on the pitch which has the opening match in a three-Test arrangement from Tuesday.
Cricket Australia affirmed they got an objection about the occurrence at Pallekele Stadium, on the edges of Kandy, however said the issue had been determined "after dialogs between the two administration groups".
In cabin the grumbling, board president Thilanga Sumathipala blamed Muralitharan for offending Sri Lanka group director Charith Senanayake.
"Muralitharan's conduct is unsatisfactory and we have conveyed this to the notification of the Australian group administration," Sumathipala told columnists.
"It ought not have happened. We are extremely frustrated."

'Long haul harm'

"Professionally it is alright for Murali to mentor any remote group, however the incongruity is that he is supporting Australia which attempted to get him out of cricket," Sumathipala said.
"He is making long haul harm for himself among his fans. I feel miserable." Sri Lankan captain Angelo Mathews was more placating, recognizing his previous colleague's mastery.
"The Australians clearly saw esteem in his insight into Sri Lankan conditions," Mathews told journalists.
Amid a 18-year Test vocation, Muralitharan – who was conceived with a halfway twisted elbow – was twice refered to by Australian umpires for a suspect activity however was cleared both times by the amusement's administering body.
He once declined to visit Australia yet has been a general guest as of late as a star of the Big Bash Twenty20 group.
In his video articulation, Muralitharan said he had not got any methodology from the Sri Lankan board to help the island's next generationof spinners and blamed it for favoring outside mentors over local people.
"They don't give a chance to skilled Sri Lankan mentors and want to bring white individuals from abroad," he said.
"That influences our economy too in light of the fact that we need to pay them dollars that leave the nation. That is injustice."
Sri Lanka has a background marked by utilizing outside mentors and re-contracted South Africa's Graham Ford not long ago for a brief moment spell.
Despite the fact that Sri Lanka won the World Twenty20 trophy two years prior, the group has been on the slide lately as it battles to supplant key players, for example, Muralitharan and star batsman Kumar Sangakkara.
Australia are hot top picks to win the arrangement.
