A group of Sri Lankan cricketers have arrived in court today in connection with a hearing on the writ petition filed challenging the arbitrary classification of national cricketers as employees of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) by the Inland Revenue Department (IRD).
The Writ petition was filed by Charith Asalanka and Dhanajaya De Silva as the respective captains of the One Day International and Twenty20 cricket teams and the Test Cricket Team.
The petition was preferred by the cricketers in relation to the arbitrary and unreasonable overnight classification of Sri Lanka’s national cricketers as employees of the national association, SLC, by the Inland Revenue Department.
