Showed no interest in playing test matches. Picked and chose white ball cricket, prioritized leagues over West Indies.

This is the problem with our cricket, and fans who glorify mercenaries like Pooran. Good riddance

Why is it that if a cricketer decide to prioritize his earnings we call them mercenaries? A mercenary is a person primarily concerned with making money at the expense of ethics. There is nothing unethical about a person choosing to use their talent to legally earn as much as they can to take care of themselves and family. We sometimes forget that playing to the WI is a job. A job they can get fired from whether for God or bad reasons. Choosing to ply their trade elsewhere is not being a mercenary. We all choose jobs that are best for ourselves and our family. There is absolutely nothing unethical about that.

Where do you live SKUNT? aren't you comfortably making money where you live?
Why don 't you stop being a mercenary and go back to dottieland to make a living.
