Big blow for Mumbai – Malinga returns home

Recurring back pain has forced Mumbai Indians’ strike bowler Lasith Malinga to return back home to Sri Lanka for treatment. The pace bowler is rumoured to be out of action for at least a couple weeks which could dent Mumbai’s chances in the ongoing Indian Premier League.

Malinga, known for his lethal yorkers, last played for Mumbai against Rajasthan on April 11th. Thereafter he missed out on his side’s match against the Delhi Dardevils on April 16th.

Nishantha Ranatunga, secretary of Sri Lanka Cricket spoke to the media and confirmed that the bowler had indeed returned home.

Injuries have plagued Malinga in recent years. A knee injury he picked up during Sri Lanka's 2007 tour of Australia threatened to cut short his career. In April 2011, he retired from Tests and decided to focus on the limited overs formats in order to spare his knee further damage.

Malinga has been the best bowler for MI even this season, claiming nine wickets in 15.5 overs at an economy rate of 4.54. Mumbai’s next game will be against Kings XI Punjab on Sunday at the Wankhede.

The Mumbai Indians management has not confirmed the nature of Malinga’s injury and have thus far claimed he was merely troubled by a back strain and would be available for the next match.

Mumbai have made  a patchy start to the fifth edition of the IPL and are currently in sixth place on the points table, having won three of their five game
