Malinga retires as the leading wicket-taker in T20Is
On Tuesday, he announced his retirement via his YouTube channel.
“Today is a very special day for me,” he said. “I want to thank each and everyone who supported me throughout my T20 journey. Today I decide I want to give 100% rest for my T20 bowling shoes. I want to thank the Sri Lankan cricket board and team members. And Mumbai Indians cricket team, especially the team owners and officials. [I would also like to thank] the team members and staff at Melbourne Stars, Kent, Rangpur Riders, Guyana Warriors, Maratha Arabians and Montreal Tigers. When I played with you all, I got many experiences through my cricketing journey.
“I want to share all my experience in the future, especially with young cricketers who want to play cricket who have dreams to play franchise cricket and with their national team. I feel I can share my experience with you all. Again, thanks a lot.”
