Another International cricketer is in ICL's net, it seems. Sri Lanka's stylish opening batsman Marvan has asked Sri Lanka Cricket to release him from his annual central contract.
"Marvan sent a letter to chief executive Duleep Mendis on Friday requesting release from his central contract," board secretary Kangadaran Mathivanan said. The 36-year-old righthander opted out of the recently completed series against Bangladesh and has been approached to play in the Indian Cricket League (ICL), a rebel Twenty20 competition being set-up by Indian broadcaster Zee TV.
The money bag shown by ICL must have been a too big incentive to ignore for Attapattu, who's almost approaching retirement in International cricket. Atapattu's current contract is worth $100,000 per annum plus match and tour fees. Just imagine, how much ICL would have offered him!
