Lasith Malinga explains why he joined Rajasthan Royals coaching unit

Former Sri Lanka player Lasith Malinga explained the reason behind joining IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals. On March 11, Malinga was appointed as the fast bowling coach of Rajasthan Royals for the IPL 2022 season.

The 38-year-old mentioned that his former Sri Lanka skipper Kumar Sangakkara, who is the Director of Cricket at Rajasthan Royals, offered him the role last year.

“It was actually last year that Kumar (Sangakkara) asked me if I was interested. But with COVID and all the bubble restrictions, I didn’t want to stay away from my family,” Malinga told.
