Colombo, Mar 18 (IBNS): Sri Lankan cricketer Lasith Malinga, who had guided his side to World T20 victory last time, has been ruled out of the tournament this year.

He has been ruled out of the tournament due to knee injury.

"Sri Lankan Fast Bowler Lasith Malinga, who joined the Sri Lanka team in India this past week, will be returning to Sri Lanka today. Sri Lanka Team management on tour have observed that Malinga who’s niggling injury has been flaring up would be better off resting it, and have recommended he return to Colombo," the Sri Lanka Cricket said in a statement.

"Selectors are expected to pick a suitable replacement for Malinga, to join the team," it said.
