WI Contract Crisis - Chapter: Please not again.

[hendrix]

Yep but just hope its not another case of someone like a Wavell Hinds agreeing on their behalf without their approval

IDGAF who agreed with it, they've had the contract for over a year.

I would send someone to talk some sense into the players in as nice a way as possible, and if that didn't work hardline the **** out of this tbh. On the players side this is either complete negligence or sheer, cynical greed.

Why the **** should they get $140K for 3 weeks work at the expense of players prepared to provide long term options and actually play Test cricket rather than the odd t20 whenever they cbf.

Is that where the cash will actually go, though?

Well it's guaranteed by a legal agreement so discounting corruption yeah.

would need to compare this to what other teams are earning to know how bad (or overstated) this is

Guarantee it's more than SL get. 90% sure it's more than NZ players get. Probably more than Pakistan players get.

Why would you do that when you know a national cricket board is involved, that too the WICB?

 

[hendrix]

Because the players haven't complained about not getting paid the agreed rate.

WICB negotiated with a body who don't represent 14/15 players in the squad. Being surprised by this is a bit silly.

each player has his own relationship with his employer and has had the contract for over a year.

If you don't want to be represented by a union, fine. But then don't complain when you haven't read your own ****ing contract.
