Why can't I get another hat-trick in the World Cup: Malinga

Speedster Malinga, who is just one more ODI wicket to move into the all-time top 10 list, is aiming for another hat-trick in the upcoming 50-overs mega-event.

Sri Lankan speedster Lasith Malinga, who is just one more ODI wicket away to move into the all-time top 10 list, is aiming for another hat-trick in the upcoming 50-overs mega-event. The seasoned campaigner took four wickets in four balls against South Africa in the 2007 edition. "Why can't I get another hat-trick, I will be trying and that would be special," Malinga was quoted as saying by the ICC media. Malinga said he enjoys playing in the England because of the testing conditions it offers. "One of the things I like about playing in England is you have to adapt to every condition. It could be really hot or quite cold and that is a real test of your skill as a bowler," said Malinga. "It can never harm to get wickets. It was nice to be successful in the IPL again and it makes you confident but the conditions are so different here and so is the format. I know I've got the skills to take wickets and gives me confidence," he said. Talking about Sri Lanka's squad, the veteran bowler said the youngsters in the side are eager to prove themselves at the upcoming World Cup in the absence of big names. "In previous years perhaps we had bigger names but these guys are very talented and they are looking forward to proving themselves and making people notice them. "We have the best 15 players in Sri Lanka right now and we have a mix of more experienced players and some exciting young players, who just can't wait to get started," said Malinga.
