SRI Lanka paceman Lasith Malinga is upset by reports suggesting he faked injury in order to avoid playing for his country and continue playing in the lucrative IPL.
The 27-year-old Malinga made himself unavailable for Sri Lanka's three tests against England this year, citing a knee injury. The fast bowler subsequently announced his retirement from test cricket. "There were lots of reports in the media insinuating that I might be feigning an injury to play in the IPL," Malinga said. "This was very upsetting as I have always been totally committed to playing for Sri Lanka."
