Anyway, this is a bit OTT. It's not like McCullum, Oram, Vettori, Mills or the like have signed for the ICL and thus can't play for NZ.
The players that have "turned their backs on NZ cricket" by signing with the ICL have had fairly valid reasons.
Shane Bond wants financial security for himself, since he knows he's injury prone and it's not like he'll be a regular fixture in the Black Caps in the future, also considering he's 32.
Andre Adams felt he was harshly treated by the selectors, so turned his back. In a way, it's true - I honestly don't think he would've ever played for us again bar an extreme injury list.
Daryl Tuffey seems to have lost the plot in terms of actually playing cricket. Seems like such a different player now and I think he thought he may not play again.
Hamish Marshall was more interested in making money than playing for NZ after he was deservedly dropped. I'll be happy never to see him in a Black Cap again.
I'd be more concerned if the likes of Broom, Nicol, Hay, How, Bell, Fulton, Taylor, Franklin, Martin, Mills, Gillespie, Southee, Todd, Cumming, Redmond, N McCullum and B Martin were to sign for the ICL.
As it stands, players who are nowhere near the current XI's (bar Bond) are signing for the ICL, so it isn't THAT BAD.
