Malinga fights for his team

26 Jul 2014 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

Star bowler Lasith Malinga had told Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) officials yesterday that he has still not decided whether he would represent the local Southern Express team or the IPL team Mumbai Indians at the forthcoming Champions’ League tournament.

Malinga had asked several top officials who met the Sri Lanka T20 skipper on the sidelines of the Test match when he visited the SLC why they let Tillekratne Dilshan, a key member of his Southern team play for Surrey instead of the local Super Fours tournament, if they felt the local tournament was important.

Malinga had also told officials that he was not bothered about money but had asked them to remunerate the members of his local team decently if they wished him to lead them to the tournament. He has spoken emotionally about his teammates who would only paid a pittance and had said if the local officials are serious about the tournament and Sri Lankan team’s prospects they should looks after all players well. The officials however have reportedly turned down Malinga’s request. Malinga stands to lose more than Rs. 20 millions if he chooses to play for the local team.
