Australia are among the favourites to win the 2019 Cricket World Cup having won the tournament four years ago but Sri Lanka’s Lasith Malinga, twice a runner-up in 2007 and 2011, knows nothing can be ruled out at this early stage. Sri Lanka qualified for the quarter-finals of the 2015 World Cup before losing to South Africa. Sri Lanka will open their 2019 World Cup campaign against New Zealand on June 1 in Cardiff.
