It's about hits and giggles and illicit gambling.

That's what the sport has morphed into.

If they declare themselves available for the knockout stages, they should be rendered unavailable for any other domestic cricket until the day after the final, regardless of their own team's progress.


Boards could consider following the Pakistan Cricket Board's lead and implementing a limit on the number of NOCs they grant their players within a certain window.


These two points, I can agree with.

I'm smiling broadly at this! The custodians of the red ball game have a runaway white ball game of their own making on their hands. Greed knows no limit. With an FTP in place until 2027 this is going to get muckier. Just lovely!

Which is why I said it's gonna get uckier��.

Any redress which is player punitive is going to see international cricket suffer. As I see it the squeeze on ODI cricket will become more pronounced and more 2/3 test match series will be in the offing. Mind you the Saudis haven't landed yet but they are in the air.
