Sri Lanka Cricket sets July 8 deadline to resolve contracts row ahead of India series

The Hindu  

Sri Lanka Cricket is headed towards a further showdown with the players being offered only 36 hours to sign the contentious national contracts by Thursday. Prior to the England tour, the players defied a June 3 deadline to sign the contracts citing lack of transparency in the process. At the height of the dispute and negotiations during May, the players said remuneration proposed to players were more than three times lower than payments made to players of other countries according to information received from the Federation of International Cricket Association. SLC had by then announced that 24 of the leading players had been offered contracts under four categories and they had been given a deadline until June 3 to sign them.
