Veteran Sri Lanka pacer Lasith Malinga says he will assess his future in international cricket after the current limited overs series against India, saying he will call it quits the moment his performance drops.
The gloom of being 4-0 down in the series, though, didn't stop Malinga from celebrating his birthday with members of both the Sri Lankan and Indian teams.
Several players from Team India took to social media to share glimpses of what seemed to be a memorable night.
Had a great time with my mates. Thank you for hosting us Lasith.

The Indian team will lock horns with Sri Lanka on Sunday and would seek to clinch a clean sweep win in the ODIs as well. They earlier won the three-match Test series 3-0.
On the other side, Sri Lanka have faced some difficult times on the cricket field. The series loss against India is their second on the trot as they were earlier defeated 2-3 by Zimbabwe. The loss in the fourth ODI on Thursday against India has denied them an ease and certainty to automatically qualify for the 2019 World Cup to be played in England.
