Sri Lanka's national selectors might finally get financially rewarded for their efforts. The job has so far been an honorary one, but Tryphon Mirando, the secretary of the interim committee, said that they will meet shortly and discuss ways of compensating the selectors.
"Over the years the selectors have spent their own money on travelling, and [using] their personal phones to be in touch with each other," Mirando explained. "If we expect them to do a job properly they should be duly compensated."
The selection committee is presently headed by former Sri Lanka offspinner Lalith Kaluperuma, and comprises Don Anurasiri, Pramodya Wickremasinghe, KM Nelson and Shabbir Asgerally.
