It is reported that former fast bowler Lasith Malinga’s statement that the 20-year-old young player Matisha Pathirana, who has become the most noticed fast bowler in the Indian Premier League Twenty20 cricket tournament and is receiving high response from the audience, should be engaged in the Test game has caused the surprise of many former players. .
Malinga has made the statement rejecting the statement made by the captain of the Chennai team, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, that he should be kept out of the Test game to protect a bowler like Matish, who has made a remarkable contribution to the Chennai team with the ball to qualify for the final of the IPL for the 10th time this year.
Many former players were surprised by Malinga’s statement that Matisha should be used in the Test game as his techniques and strength will improve in the Test game, because Lasith Malinga retired from the Test field at the young age of 27 and turned to the ODI and T20 games only.
