Sri Lanka Cricket's specialists have affirmed a "generous harm" to Lasith Malinga's left knee, after the bowler was precluded of both the World T20 and the continuous IPL. The SLC restorative group has not prompted surgery, but rather said the harm requires rest and intermittent reassessment.

"A couple specialists have been exhorting Malinga, and we feel that he needs to rest his knee, while experiencing physiotherapy and reinforcing," Wijesinghe said. "Strictly when perceiving how he the damage responds to this, will we have the capacity to say to what extent he may be inaccessible. It may be various months before we choose to sweep and test him once more. It's hard to put a time allotment on his recuperation."

After the England visit there is additionally ODI and T20 cricket against Australia booked for August, yet Malinga shows up in uncertainty for those arrangement too.
