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. (Channaka de Silva)

He belongs to the same wave length or chemistry or etc etc why a selector should intervene technically it should be resolved with the CEO

Rata Haraka Monday, 04 March 2013 09:26 AM

Looks like a great start to a new chapter in his life / career. Cheers, Sana.

Sim Monday, 04 March 2013 08:19 AM

Sanna not worried as he is not losing anything, it's the current players who has to lose everything.

david Monday, 04 March 2013 07:25 AM

Most of the people who comment on this didn’t read the full story. There is a gag order against comment to all the players please read twitter.

I don't think what is said is true. To my knowledge no one has yet agreed to sign...POLITICS STINK !

Fouzy Sunday, 03 March 2013 05:27 PM

Sanath being a recent player would have spoken to the cricketers, some of whom he has played with, in the same wavelegnth. The way to go.

Being a governing party politician who is close to the highest in the land, he does not have to negotiate - just one threat would do.
