All-rounder Angelo Mathews, along with three suspended players — Danushka Gunathilaka, Niroshan Dickwella, and Kusal Mendis — do not figure in Sri Lanka Cricket’s (SLC) list of 18 players offered national contracts here on Friday.

Sri Lanka Cricket wishes to announce that 18 players signed the National Player Contracts, which came into effect from August 1, 2021. The new contract will be for a five-month period and will end on December 31, 2021, SLC said in a statement on Friday.

SLC clarified that Mathews was not on the contracted players’ list because he is currently unavailable for selection.

Angelo Mathews, who was among the players offered a contract was not considered, as he is currently unavailable for selection, whilst Danushka Gunathilaka, Niroshan Dickwella, and Kusal Mendis are currently serving a ban. Isuru Udana has retired from international cricket, SLC added.

Mendis, wicketkeeper Dickwella, and Gunathilaka were sent home from England for breaching bio-bubble protocols in Durham.
