Funny thing if they don't sign the contracts they can kiss good bye IPL no objection certificates will not be issued... Sanga and mahela not think about this jayasuriya will remind them of it today lol then they will sign it like school. Girls lol

This is what is wrong with our country... You guys are not educated enough why on earth wud you blame sanath for sanga being dropped? SLC basic requirements contracted players can only be selected so how can sanath select a player who is not contracted?
Don't be so naif people why are our cricketers being so greedy its simple if a company is running into financial trouble the employees take pay cuts and bla bla cut..
Why can't our cricketers who have earned millions through cricket make some sacrifice too?
Typical Sri Lankan behavior running behind without thinking

Knowing he`s out of form still wants to play in the team, wants to play IPL, wants to be a member of parliament, like to be a dancing star in india and participated, played charity match in canada and complained he wasn`t paid accordingly, got married for the 3rd time (personal) and at last selector of the Lankan team and ruining the cricket.

SLC recruited secretaries for managers paying big amounts. They brought Haroon Mortar paying Rs 100,000/- a day to show their own fault. Now they are trying to cover up all by putting the blame on the players. What a shame..!!! via DM Android App

Yes but have you seen the contents of the contract? Before making foolish comments like this you should understand that the contents/ clauses in the contract should be acceptable to both parties to sign and agree upon.

Bob Seygal Sunday, 03 March 2013 10:19 AM

This man thinks it is a "one man show" and regard him as the kingpin. All of them beg to be included in the national team at the begining of their career and a few years later they have forgotten the sportsmanship and the nation who nurtured them to be great players. No wonder money is considered to the reason for EVIL behaviour.

A player wanted to dictate terms are not entertained. Let talented young guys take the lead. Contarct is a basic document and one can not take on his own. A law student should know better.
