MUTUAL AGREEMENT HAS BEEN MADE BETWEEN THE PLAYER AND SOME SENIOR OFFICIALS OF THE WCT.
It was a decision making day for WCT officials.
Today WCT senior officials met Shafnas, one of the famous local cricketer to discuss some problems which is going on between him and some of the other senior local cricketers. This issue finally led all the way to the WCT Season 2 and made a question mark for the tournament in the middle and almost all the organizing works have been temporarily stopped because of this matter.
WCT president Safran and some of the senior members met Shafnas and discussed the issues and finally got in for an agreement.
Shafnas is a local cricketer but he never play or participating in any tournaments for his village. But he is a regular player for Royal Sports Club, which is an outside club. The problem occurred when organizers tried to enter his name in to the WCT Season 2. Some of the most watchful and famous players in the village told WCT they will withdraw their names from the tournament if Shafnas playing for the season 2. When the WCT media ask what is the reason for that, one of the organizers answered " those players contacted WCT. They said that as a local cricketer Shafnas haven't played any matches for his village but he is a regular player for an outside club which is not acceptable. Even we getting many contracts from many outside clubs but as we local players we always think to play for our village first because that is our duty. So entering a player in tho the tournament who haven't played for his village will drag our participation from the tournament" those players said WCT officials.
But it seems today meeting was a successful one. Because after discussing with Shafnas, he finally agreed to play one game each for both clubs when ever needed.
Its look like a mutual agreement between Shafnas and the WCT officials who met today not only for this tournament but also on behalf of all other local players and the villagers.
So the player has verbally agreed to play rotation basis, one match for his village and one match for the Royal Sports Club which is his long time playing club.
Today's meeting made everything smooth and unite again with in the WCT organizers and all other local players.
Captains and the team names have been released by the WCT organizing committee.
16 names have been finalized for the captaincies and the teams which will be playing in the WCT Season 2.
But the captain for the particular team is not yet confirmed. It will be release with in the next week.
Please go the "TEAMS" page in the website for complete names of the teams and the "PLAYERS" page for the 16 captains.

WCT organizers are under pressure.
Discussions are ongoing!
Some problems have raised while the organizers are selecting players for WCT Season 2 which is due to begin on 4th of March 2012.
An inside source from the WCT said that the problem occurred when they were naming one of the most talented all-rounder who is currently living within the village, but does not play any tournaments or cricket matches for his village. But he is a regular player for one of the famous local cricket club which is in another area.
There are few members with in the organizing committee saying that this player must include in the tournament which is due to begin on the 4th of March. But there are some players as well as members within the committee are refused their suggestion. Because if his name entered for this tournament, then some of the most watch full players who regularly playing for Welipitiya has told the organizers that they will withdraw their participation from the tournament.
When we spoke to couple of organizers yesterday, they said that “1st he must play for his village before he plays anywhere else, also that player has been banned by playing in the village ground for sometime now, because he doesn’t play for his village. So if he keeps playing for outside teams then the ban will continue”.
Media asked these committee members about this ban, they said “this ban has imposed on that player by the players who regularly playing evening cricket on that ground”.
But these 2 members refused to comment anything further until they discuss about this with their senior organizers. They will be meeting on Saturday to discuss regarding this and said probably they will be able to get a decision.

Playing rules and regulations.
WCT Season 2 playing rules and regulations have been released by tournament committee. Its look like bit of worrying matter. Specially for hard hitting batmen. But in one way the committee has thought of giving a chance to shine to every player in the team. But any how if that is the final decision from the committee then every individual player must agree and obey the playing rules of the tournament.
Because breaching a tournament law does not look good to see for SPIRIT OF CRICKET.
