Whay is that DECEIT?
What exactly are they investing?
Sad to say, but I suspect if there were a couple of Guyanese lads benefiting, this conversation would not be taking place.
The ECB is able to pay its contracted players £700,000 to have an England first policy. These lads have the opportunity to also have endorsements so the ECB contracted players earn well above £1m per annum without the IPL and other T20 tournaments. This is a different situation.
All players ply their trade and as contracted players if they play abroad their Boards, including the WICB, get compensated.
Bravo, Russell, Pollard and Sammy are not test players so there may not be any obligation for them to play in the Domestic 4 day competition which starts November 14th. Ram Jam starts Nov 2 and by the time they are finished in SA, finals Dec 12th, the first class season in the Windies will be suspended for 2 months anyway. Not sure if the 50 overs competition then kicks in so these players can play leading up to the World Cup which commences Feb 14th.
Players make themselves available for International duties and if the selectors select them they play.
I genuinely do not see what all the fuss is all about. If these players were vying for Test spots then I could understand them having to play in the domestic FC competition as is the case with Gayle.
Lets us remember Windian internationals missing part of the season is not new as, in the past, county payers did miss some FC games.
During the Ram Jam Jamaica play 4, T&T 2 games etc.
