Six NZ players to forgo IPL cash
Saturday, 25 July 2009
New Zealand Cricket has persuaded its six Indian Premier League players to agree contracts with the board and forgo "significant sums of money".
The move avoids a possible rift caused by a scheduling clash with Australia's tour to its Oceania neighbour in March.
Daniel Vettori, Brendon McCullum, Kyle Mills, Jacob Oram, Jesse Ryder and Ross Taylor had all been granted extra time to confirm their deals.
Vaughan added: "Each of these individuals should be applauded for it. By signing their contracts, they are sacrificing significant sums of money.
Meanwhile, Sean Morris, the chief executive of the Professional Cricketers' Association in England, believes the age of the mercenary cricketer could be around the corner. — BBC
