Lasith Malinga joined Mumbai Indian team on Wednesday, March 27, 2019. He was initially not supposed to play in this season IPL due to a domestic ODI series in Sri Lanka. Later Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) granted him permission to play entire IPL and skip the domestic series at Sri Lanka.

The Mumbai Indian swing bowler said ESPNcricinfo that he would consult with MI management and request them to let him participate in the ODI series from April 4 to April 11 at his home. If that happens, Malinga will skip the match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
