Mathews played for Sri Lanka in the Under-19 World Cup in 2020 and 2022. Nineteen-year-old Lasith Malinga is notable for his bowling action. Despite having played only one List A and two T20I matches so far, CSKA hopes that Malinga’s action and accuracy will enable Mathisha to shine in the IPL.
In the first match against Kolkata, Milne bowled only 2.3 overs. He conceded 19 runs. The team expected the player, who withdrew due to injury, to return this season. No application was made for a replacement following the same. The contract with the Sri Lankan has been signed with the assurance that Milne will miss the entire season.
The main reason for the season’s defeats was CSK’s inability to make up for the loss of two key bowlers. CSK has yet to find a replacement for Deepak Chahar. CSK CEO Kashi Viswanathan said that the search is on for a bowler who can handle a new ball like Chahar. CSKA’s next match is against Mumbai Indians on Thursday.
