    "editor1": "<p>Sri Lanka cricketers have agreed to tour England without contracts after the country&#39;s cricket board agreed to bring transparency to players&#39; evaluation that eventually decides categories of contract.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sri Lanka cricketers had been complaining that the methodology used for calculating contracts was not transparent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), however, said it will reveal the details of how it evaluates players and issues them contracts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;This is the transparency the players had been requesting from the outset. They will play this tour without signing any contract. They have signed a voluntary declaration, but there is nothing there about player remuneration. They have always been committed to playing for Sri Lanka,&quot; Nishan Premathiratne, players&#39; lawyer, was quoted as saying by espncricinfo.com.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Last week, 38 Sri Lankan cricketers had refused to sign contracts as they complained about lack of transparency in the ratings system devised by SLC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, with the issue sorted now, the team will depart for England on June 9 as per schedule.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sri Lanka are scheduled to play the first of the three T20Is against England June 23. The three-match ODI series will begin on June 29. Besides, they are to play two tour matches, against Kent and Sussex.<\/p>\r\n",
