yeah, both the Border Gavaskar Trophy and the Ashes cannot co-exist - one has to go.

Cricket does not need two T20 tournaments annually - that is T20 overkill. It was always lead to some clash as the CT has done with the end of English domestic season. Or very hectic & short revoery team between series that caused injuries to Bollinger here & Lee/Siddle during in 08.
Plus the IPL clashes with the windies home summer in some way.
Only one of them should be around (with the IPL preferably being revamped or scrapped), along with the T20 World Cup every two years. That is enough T20 cricket.
You need to find a time of the year when you have one of these tournaments, that it can be played an no countries home series (international or domestic can be troubled) & all world stars would be free from international commitments. AFAIS, the only free time where you can all players available is Early October/Novermber (early or mid)

They can choose not to play in the IPL and CL. When Hussey said he 'had to play', it meant that CA wouldn't override the local club and deactivate him for national duty. Meaning the decision was between him and his club. CA is not going to threaten him and make him play against his will.
You can't make a commitment and choose to get paid and then moan about it. The club made a financial commitment to him and they'd be rightly annoyed if he chose not to play in the finals - next time, he shouldn't sign an IPL contract or sign a specific contract that exempts him from the CL if there is a tour within a certain time frame. But you can't take the money to play certain tournaments and then moan about "being made" to play those tournaments...
Clarke made a decision that he wanted to focus on Australian cricket, and he chose not to sign an IPL contract. That's completely respectable. Hussey can follow suit next time. He's going to be up for auction this year, let's see what he does.

The IPL is a domestic Indian event, same as the Twenty20 Cup in England, the Big Bash in Australia etc.

The IPL is domestic tournament being fronted as a international one. It is by no means comparavle to T20 Cup here on the Big Bash.
I am not interested in having this discussion again however, have debated it to the death on this side in the past years:

You can read what i said about this point that you have made here in further detail from that thread (page 14 onwards).

It is a domestic event with different rules on player restrictions and better pay checks. How is it exactly fronted as int'l event or whatever?

NO! No!
Do not make this thread a ****ty argument about whether the IPL is a domestic tournament, or whether it should remove the international player restrictions and all that other rubbish.
This is about player contracts and them fulfilling their duties, and how it affects their international cricket.

Eyes not spreadsheets
Cricinfo seem to call it an International event when showing latest scores but it is to all intents and purposes a domestic competition. Ironically it's the changing of the Aussie tour from 7 ODIs that's caused a few problems with the Champions Trophy now.

I'm trying to be good this year and not waste time reading rubbish, so I'll pass up your generous offer.
