Malinga - knows his priorities.
Malinga retired from Test cricket in 2011 due to persistent injuries but continued to play ODIs and T20 clashes for his country, although he did so as a non-contracted player.
However, national contracts will soon be offered once more and Malinga insists he remains committed to playing limited-overs cricket for Sri Lanka - with or without a contract.
Should he accept a contract, the paceman can expect to earn as much as 60% less than other top level players because he does not play Test cricket.
“No contracts have been offered yet for this year for any of the players.But whether I decide to play with or without [a] contract, does not really matter as I am still 100-percent available for selection for all ODI and T20 commitments for Sri Lanka just like I was last year,” Malinga told ANI.
