Retrieve text (not value) from select option tag

I'm using asp.net c# mvc4

I can currently retrieve the value of selected option in my controller from my view, but I also need to retrieve the text. My View and Controller looks like this:

View:

<form method="post" action="myAction">
     <select name="sel">
          <option value="1" text="One">One</option>
          <option value="2" text="Two">Two</option>
     </select>
</form>

Controller:

public ActionResult myAction(int sel) 
{
     int selValue = sel;
}

This piece of code works fie for me. However, in my controller, I want to add string selText=something so that I have the text too, and the code would look like:

public ActionResult myAction(int sel, string something) 
{
     int selValue = sel;
     string selText = something
}

Could anyone help me with this?
