(Reuters) - Sri Lanka's limited-overs captain Lasith Malinga has been cleared to play the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL)season after his country's cricket board granted the paceman permission to skip the domestic 50-overs tournament on Tuesday.
Selectors had earlier made it mandatory for Sri Lanka players to participate in the Super Provincial One-Day Tournament if they want to be considered for the May 30-July 14 Cricket World Cup in England and Wales.
