SLC will also not look after them medically or meet their medical expenses whether they are local or overseas” said the source.He said that the proposals would be submitted to the Sri Lanka Cricketers Association today together with the proposed contracts for this year. SLC is determined to implement the new rule as it seemed essential considering the recent developments and will definitely come into place, he added.Sri Lanka Cricketers Association also felt it was a just clause in the professional environment which prevails.“I believe it’s fair enough. If a player signs a contract, then he becomes an employee of SLC. But if a player does not sign it, then SLC has no obligation to look after his interests” said Sri Lanka Cricketers Association spokesman Ken de Alwis. The issue became a problem for SLC only last year when star bowler Lasith Malinga refused to sign the SLC contract when he became the first Sri Lankan player to do so.Malinga, widely considered the best T20 bowler in the world plays for the elite franchise Mumbai Indians in the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL) for an annual salary of well over a million US Dollars. He is in line to earn an SLC contract worth US 40,000 this year which will also severely restrict his freedom and also the earning capacity and there is a strong likelihood that the controversial star opting out of a contract again.Malinga who was injured after playing a few games for the Mumbai Indians during the current IPL, returned to Sri Lanka for medical treatment and SLC offered him medical support though he is not one of their contracted players.  [CODE]cricturf.com [/CODE]<img src="http://www.cricturf.com/thumbnails/thumbnails/remote/http--www.onlanka.com-wp-content-uploads-2011-04-lasith-malinga-300x212.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
