Malinga may undergo surgery
Lasith Malinga could be out of action until at least the end of the year if he goes through with surgery on a problematic left ankle, which he is currently receiving consultation on, in Australia. Malinga left for Melbourne on Saturday morning, after having experienced a significant increase in pain in his ankle while bowling.
He will see his orthopaedic on Sunday, after which a final decision on whether surgery is his best course of action will be taken. If Malinga does undergo the arthroscopy surgery that has been suggested for him, he will be in doubt for each of Sri Lanka's limited-overs assignments until the World Cup. The normal recovery time for this surgery is 16 weeks, after which time Malinga should be able to return to full intensity at training.
