COLOMBO: Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) on Thursday announced the appointment of fast bowling legend Lasith Malinga as the Bowling Strategy Coach of the national men's team for the white-ball games against Australia.

Malinga had previously served in the same capacity when Sri Lanka had toured Australia for a five-match T20I series in February this year.

"Malinga, during the tour, will support Sri Lanka's bowlers, providing tactical insight and technical expertise to help the on-field execution of strategic plans. Sri Lanka Cricket is confident that Malinga's vast experience and renowned death-bowling expertise, especially in the T20 format, will help the team immensely going into this all-important series," said the SLC in a statement.
