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.
