Sri Lankan fast bowler Lasith Malinga too has decided to pull out of the T20 match against Pakistan, in Lahore. 

Sri Lankan ODI and T20 captain Upul Tharanga yesterday said he would not take part in the T20 match in Pakistan due to security reasons. 

Dinesh Chandimal may also not play the T20 match owing to the same concerns, SLC sources said. 

In the absence of Tharanga, Chandimal and Malinga, all-rounder Thisara Perera is likely to lead the Sri Lankan side in the T20 match.
