Ranatunga fears exodus

COLOMBO: Young cricketers may soon opt out of playing for their country because of the huge amounts of money available in the sport, Sri Lanka’s cricket chief Arjuna Ranatunga said on Tuesday.

Ranatunga said he was worried about the future of younger players who could be tempted to join the cash-rich Twenty20 leagues in India. — Agencies
