Colombo, August 02: Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara today said although fast bowler Lasith Malinga, who missed the second cricket Test against India with a knee injury, has recovered he is still uncertain for the third and final match of the series starting here tomorrow.
Malinga had a good bowling session today but Sangakkara said it would be a tough call to take a final decision on the pacer’s selection.
“Malinga is back and strong. He had a good bowl today but wait for an update. It’s a pretty tough call (on Malinga’s selection). Ultimately, it’s a feel thing. Malinga has to feel fine and strong not just physically but more importantly mentally and it is important that he is supported by the squad, the selectors irrespective of whatever happens out there in the middle,” Sangakkara told reporters on the eve of the match.
