Lasith Malinga has been one of the few cricketers in Sri Lanka, who has kept the national team competitive amid their recent decline. The retirements of greats like Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene, Tillakaratne Dilshan have arrived as a major blow to them, weakening their side significantly. However, players like Thisara Perera, Lasith Malinga, Rangana Herath, and Kusal Perera have taken the mantle of keeping Sri Lanka afloat.

Malinga has enjoyed tremendous success in T20 international cricket and is the highest wicket-taker in the format with 107. His fast and inswing yorkers with the new ball and in death overs left many batsmen without answers. However, in his last seven matches, the lanky bowler has only three wickets. With his potency reducing due to injuries, it is very likely he might not partake in the next T20 World Cup. The T20 skipper already declared a few months back he would not mind retiring after the tournament in Australia.
