COLOMBO: A cover conflict between Sri Lankan players along with the federal board has hurt staff morale before a one-way show in Bangladesh beginning Sunday, skipper Kusal Perera stated.

Sri Lanka Cricket have cut costs for 24 nationwide players up to 40% in fresh contracts that have been reversed from the gamers.

Perera said no agreement was reached prior to leaving Bangladesh in which they are supposed to play with three 50 over matches.

“It is going to be a lie to state the cover cut problem will not negatively influence our gamers,” Perera informed an internet media conference Saturday.

“I expect we are going to have the ability to make a deal with the plank on our return.”
He explained the pay structure invented by the board newest cricket manager Tom Moody and prior Sri Lanka skipper Aravinda de Silva was inducing emotional strain for the group.

“This really is an added challenge for me since I attempt to make an environment in which gamers move to the center and perform well,” he explained.

An attorney for those gamers has accused Sri Lanka Cricket of holding the staff”at gunpoint” in an attempt to induce the new contracts .

Former captain Angelo Mathews and Test captain Dimuth Karunaratne — that endured the largest reductions — were dropped out of the tour of Bangladesh.

Mathews’ yearly fee dropped from $130,000 annually to $80,000 while Karunaratne has been provided $70,000, a fall of $30,000.

“The players aren’t in agreement to signal unjust and non-transparent contracts and advocate Sri Lanka Cricket not to hold the gamers at gunpoint,” said attorney Nishan Premathiratne.

Sri Lanka Cricket has stated players can make more under a fresh performance-based pay strategy.

Moody reported this week he analyzed pay constructions in different states prior to coming up with this strategy.

Sri Lanka Cricket officials stated that at the top of foundation fees there are obligations for every single game and allowances for traveling outside Colombo.
