(UTV | COLOMBO) – Rajasthan Royals roped in the services of former Sri Lanka speedster Lasith Malinga as the franchise’s fast bowling coach ahead of the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League.
Malinga, who had been one of the key figures for the Mumbai Indians during his playing career, had retired from the game last year.
The stint with the Royals would be Malinga’s maiden role as a coach in the tournament. The Royals confirmed the development on their official Twitter profile.
38-year-old T20 World Cup-winning captain Malinga, who led his country to the 2014 ICC T20 World Cup trophy, will be working during the upcoming season with the talented group of pacers present within the Royals’ set-up.
