Fleming urged not to join ICL

---

New Zealand Cricket's chief executive Justin Vaughan has advised Stephen Fleming against signing with the Indian Cricket League as NZC finalises its official position on the series. It is likely that Fleming's national contract would be terminated if he agreed to captain one of the ICL teams and Vaughan said Fleming deserved better.
Vaughan contacted Fleming, who is in England playing for Nottinghamshire, this week with some friendly words of advice. "I just said to him this is not in the best interest of New Zealand Cricket," Vaughan told the Dominion Post.
"I believe a player of his stature and whose legacy is so magnificent deserves better ways. I've spoken more as a friend, as a friend who happens to be the chief executive of New Zealand Cricket," he said.
Vaughan said NZC was still deciding on its official stance regarding the ICL, which has been linked to Fleming, Chris Harris, Chris Cairns and Nathan Astle, but he strongly hinted that players with domestic or national contracts would not be allowed to take part. "The New Zealand Cricket board needs to come up with a concrete policy on how to approach this," Vaughan said.
