Malinga last played for Sri Lanka in March 2020 before COVID-19 pandemic impacted cricket and since then, was on the sidelines.
 
He was also not considered for the upcoming T20 World Cup to be played in the UAE. The 38-year-old played 84 T20Is for his country picking 107 wickets including two five-wicket hauls and a four-wicket haul. Speaking about his overall career, he played 30 Tests and 226 ODIs as well while featuring in a whopping 295 T20 matches.

As far as IPL is concerned, Lasith Malinga played only for Mumbai Indians winning multiple title for them. His last ball in the cash-rich league remains the title winning one for the franchise where he dismissed Shardul Thakur of CSK to win MI its fourth IPL title in the 2019 season.
