Former Sri Lankan fast bowler Lasith Malinga is currently immersed in his newfound passion. The cricket legend has recently written new songs, which are set to be published in the near future. Malinga shared insights about his new venture in an interview with The Telegraph news website.

However, these songs won’t be limited to the Sinhalese industry. “Dura Dakke Na,” a track from the ‘Life’ music album, is slated to have its Hindi version soon. The vocals for this version are expected to be provided by Sri Lankan artist Mangala Denex.

” I’ve already started working on the Hindi version. One of the most talented Sri Lankan singers has decided to sing that. Once that is released, I’m sure all the fans in Sri Lanka and India would love it,”

“I didn’t have an idea to be a songwriter, I was writing a book about my experiences and techniques a fast bowler should learn about. I was working on the book and everything that came to mind. It then clicked to me that those are the things people would generally experience, and some experiences are related to life.”

” Whenever I find some free time, I will be writing whatever comes to my mind. They will be based on life experiences. With that, people will find it lovely when those stories coming out of my songs are closer to their lives.”

” Cricket is harder, no debate on it, With the opposition changing, you need to adapt technically, tactically and read and understand situations. A person who has played cricket would know how hard the game is and how hard it is to remain at the top for a long time.”
