Former Sri Lankan pace ace Lasith Malinga is set to return to five-time champions Mumbai Indians for the 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), this time as their fast bowling coach replacing Shane Bond, according to a report on Saturday.

The Kiwi veteran had held that position for the past nine seasons. However, an IPL source confirmed to PTI that Bond's contract with Mumbai Indians remains to be still under review. "Mumbai Indians' contract with Bond is still not over as yet," the source said.
