Contract Issue Affecting Sri Lanka Ahead Of Bangladesh Series: Kusal Perera

By IANS News May 23, 2021 • 20:31 PM View: 1951

Sri Lanka cricket captain Kusal Perera has said that while his teams priority is to win the three-match One-day International (OD) series against Bangladesh starting today, the ongoing stalemate over the signing of central contracts was not doing his players any good.

In a deepening crisis in Sri Lankan cricket, all 24 cricketers, who have been offered new contracts by their country's cricket board, have refused to sign on the dotted line citing "lack of transparency in the manner in which the contract categories have been allocated".
