Malinga to Join Sri Lanka Setup Ahead of T20 World Cup

"His experience in death-over bowling is expected to strengthen the pace attack."

Lasith Malinga will work with the Sri Lanka national team as they prepare for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Sri Lanka Cricket has included him in the setup to support the squad, with special attention on the fast bowlers during training camps and practice sessions.

Malinga is one of the greatest T20 bowlers in cricket history. He will share his knowledge of bowling yorkers, variations, and handling pressure in the death overs. His experience should help sharpen Sri Lanka’s pace attack ahead of the tournament.

Sri Lanka Cricket expects Malinga to guide young fast bowlers and boost their confidence. His presence will also help players improve match awareness and decision-making in key moments.

The move highlights Sri Lanka’s plan to use former greats to strengthen the team. With Malinga’s involvement, the team hopes to prepare better and perform strongly at the T20 World Cup.
