Sri Lanka all-rounder Dunith Wellalage will not join Hampshire for a proposed red-ball stint in England after he was not granted a No Objection Certificate (NOC). The exact reason for Wellalage not being granted the NOC is not known. Why?

I want to commission long form, deep, research pieces using advanced cricket stats and data. The idea is to answer broad cricket questions with near academic rigour and advance the knowledge of the game. Should be 2000+ words. Writers will be paid. DM for pitches and questions.
