Corey Anderson, Kieron Pollard and Lasith Malinga picked Mumbai Indians over Northern Knights, Barbados Tridents and Southern Express respectively; George Bailey and David Miller chose Kings XI Punjab over Hobart Hurricanes and Dolphins; Pat Cummins and Jacques Kallis will play for Kolkata Knight Riders and not Perth Scorchers and Cape Cobras; and Dwayne Smith will turn out for Chennai Super Kings and not Barbados Tridents.
"CLT20 regulations state that when a player elects to play for their 'away' team, that team must pay the 'home' team $150,000 compensation per player. A 'home' team is classified as a team from the country a player is eligible to represent in international cricket."
This was expected of them and there is no reason to be baffled about this..They always are lured towards the cash rich IPL than getting the pride to represent their own club.Gone were those days of the past where preferences were heavily tilted to where they belonged.

Bala24 , no problem with that !
But W.I. Director Of Cricket is NOT addressing this :
hence we see the same ole players versus Bangladesh :
Pollard , Simmons, Bravo , Sunil WII scoot to the $$$$.
Why are they in this XI ?? >

They are in this X1 because WI doesn't have too much back up options..Tell me a player of bravo or Pollard's calibre waiting in the wings..We have to put up with these faggots whether we like it or not..
Unless WI pops up new talent once a while,they really don't have a challenge to their place in the side..Ami right..??
