Chairman of the SLC Interim Committee, Jayantha Dharmadasa, told BBC Sandeshaya that the selectors' decisions have paved the way for early retirement and criticism by senior players.

A member of the 1996 World Cup winning team, Upul Chandana, slammed the select panel while announcing his retirement from the international games earlier this month.

Former skipper Marvan Atapattu was granted special permission to leave the national contract upon his request.

Both players are reportedly considering joining the rebel Indian Cricket League (ICL) organised by the Zee TV. Chandana however told BBCSinhala.com that he was not approached by the ICL.

If the best player was not offered a place there is something wrong with the selecting process Jayantha Dharmadasa on Anil Ridheegammangedara

Player and the Best Bowler of the 2007, Anil Ridheegammanagedara, revealed to BBC Sandeshaya that he plans to join the rebel ICL unless he was given an opportunity to represent Sri Lanka.

"If the best player was not offered a place there is something wrong with the selecting process," Dharmadasa said, "and both Marvan and Chandana have voiced similar criticism against the selectors".

The SLC chairman was also critical of select committee chairman Asantha de Mel's view that Sri Lanka players should be allowed to take part in the ICL twenty20 tournament.

De Mel has told media that he did not see why players are banned from the ICL tournament while allowing them to take part in County cricket in the UK.

"I think he (de Mel) should be aware that there is a clear difference between the two," Jayantha Dharmadasa told BBC Sandeshaya.

"The county cricket is authorised by the England cricket board, but the ICL is not recognised by the Indian board," he added.
