What a mess - these "entire team" exclusive sponsorship deals are really doing some damage. Among the missing are Sarwan, Lara and Gayle.
Seems that of 25 players invited to a training camp (the qualifier being agreeing to a new type of contract), only nine have accepted, so the rest of them are ruled out for the tour.
Maybe this can be resolved in time, but it seems doubtful. The main issue is that the players (and their sponsors) have to be compensated for their lost earnings/marketing.
This will really cut the guts out of the series, if it isn't fixed.
