Sri Lankan fast bowler Lasith Malinga will leave for home after Tuesday's World Cup match against Bangladesh here, following the death of his mother-in-law, but will return on time for the game against Australia on Friday.

"Lasith Malinga will leave the team following Sri Lanka's World Cup game against Bangladesh, which will be played today, as his Mother-In-Law has passed away," Sri Lanka Cricket Board said on its official Twitter handle.

"He is expected to join the team, before the team's next #CWC19 game, which will be played against Australia on 15th."
