Contract dispute rocks Sri Lanka Team!!!

[Eshen]

"The players are demanding 75 percent of the total revenue and if that is to be paid Sri Lanka Cricket will have to obtain a loan of 600 million rupees ($4.70 million)," Aluthgamage told Reuters.

"I have asked Sri Lanka Cricket to give the players time till Sunday for them to make up their mind, if they still refuse I have told them to go ahead and pick a new team and play the series."

Ken de Alwis, secretary of the Sri Lanka Players Association, told Reuters that senior players would meet the officials on Sunday to discuss the matter.

Cricket crisis ends

All national cricketers have agreed to sign the contract with Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) after a lengthy meeting tonight at SLC headquarters, National Chief Selector Sanath Jayasuriya said.

Jayasuriya intervened and met the national players at this meeting after all negotiations had failed between SLC and players.

This enables Jayasuriya to pick a full strength squad for the first Test against Bangladesh.

SL players agree to sign original contracts after a long meeting with selector Sanath Jayasuriya. Deadlock over, but they are yet to sign.

Its a good news. So a big fight is waiting for us.

Alhamdulillah !
Its a great news. First overseas test match in 2 years, it would have been a shame if we had to play some goli cricketers.

That's what I thought after hearing that they are going to play full strength squad with us because I don't have any hope on this bowling unit. Except Gazi not a single bowler can take wickets unless batsman gift wickets by themselves.

Excellent news. On vacay and watching no namers play would be a travesty of epic propotrions.

Jayasuriya is the man.

Can Sri Lanka defeat Sri Lanka? Can BC defeat BC? Can Al-furqaan defeat Al-furqaan? are some questions that awake me at 'tlite...
