Maybe he could have thought "I won't play IPL, because there's a tour for my actual ****ing country a couple of months later and I'll miss both then."

This is an absolute joke. You can't defend it when he's opted into a big pay day while she's up the duff only to not tour for his country. It's woeful from him, frankly.

A lot of the domestic players do that sort of stuff tbh. And players contracted to BBL franchises too.

Perhaps because many of them knew he would react this way and spit the dummy if they challenged him in even a mild way?

Pretty amazing for the national coach to admit that he can't take critcism and is emotionally immature. He's skating on thin ice atm, albeit that the board would be reluctant to change the coach with a World T20 and home Ashes coming up in the next 6 months.
