Sri Lanka Cricketers Reject Pay Cut After Being Held 'At Gunpoint' By Board

By AFP News May 22, 2021 • 13:03 PM View: 1984

The squad, who say they are being held "at gunpoint", are particularly angry at the role played by former Australia star Tom Moody who is part of a national board panel that proposed the new contracts.
