In the wake of cricketer Bhanuka Rajapaksa has announced his intention to retire from international cricket, the Sri Lanka Cricket has taken a number of decisions on national players who intend to retire from national cricket.
Accordingly, national players who are intending to retire from national cricket, should officially notify the local Cricket governing body three months ahead, elaborating their intention to retire, SLC said.
The above decision was taken by the executive committee of SLC at a meeting held on Friday in respect of players who have retired and/or contemplating to retire from national cricket.
Also, retired national players who wish to obtain the ‘’No Objection Certificates’’ (NOCs) to play franchise league tournaments overseas, will only be issued to such players, provided who have completed six months of their effective date of retirement.
Retired national players will be considered eligible for local leagues such as LPL, only if they have played 80% of matches in the Domestic Cricket Competitions conducted in the season prior to the league matches, the SLC said.
The above decisions are to take effect immediately.

Dictatorship even in sports. How stupid is this? Another clause in UN Human Rights Council will be added re: this.

Why not increase their retirement age to 65 ( like the recent gazzette). And also pay them pension. Haha

Oppression by SLC control freak fascists. This new NOC related clause is effectively a possibly illegal denial of employment and source of income.

Rules are rules if you are international cricketer you need to follow the coach not to coach Mickey Athur he has wealth of experience compared to this Rajapakse - 2 KM run standard pratise in any sports if he cannot follow the standard coaching rules so be it let him join Kandos do chocolate promation.

Another characteristic of this government and its unqualified specimens who loves to be a bully. let us all vote with our heads next time and not just vote for a specimen with a mustache which is not a qualification.

Was this decision taken in the interest of Cricket or to threaten the players? It reminds of Thajudeen's fate!
