The players do not need permission from the respective boards regarding international games? From whatever news was coming in earlier, it said that the IPL players would miss IPL games when internationals of their respective countries are going on as international games would be given preference. It will get very tricky if the Windies players miss tests because of IPL. An international window for IPL, as I mentioned very early in this thread, is very important.
Injured they will treat it as some thing else.....
It depends really on the individual contracts the players have with their boards. I'm not sure what the situation is with the West Indies, but some countries still have tour by tour contracts rather then seasonal contracts. I know in Sri Lanka, if a player is outside the top 15 contracted players, they can pull out of an international series for something like this and the board has no real control to stop them. A case in point was Atapattu and Bangladesh series when he pulled out to play for Lashings.
nothing new has happend quite a few times before.
It is pretty thin grounds where Brumby stands on when he keeps moaning about IPL. If English county cricket had more money, they would be trying to get bigger name West Indies players. I don't see how Brumby can be such a passionate English Premier League supporter while he dismisses IPL at the same time. It is very much double standards. To any one who might feel that I am defending the situation we find ourselves in right now where players might miss international games, I am not. It would be dire if they do but that does not mean that the IPL is evil or dire. IPL is very good for the game where I am concerned. IPL is very new and obviously situations which are far from ideal might arise. That doesn't mean that possible solutions (like say an international window for IPL) wont come up in the future.
Nope, you have to be available, not necessarily fit to play. As long as you aren't off on international or other commitments and are with the team, you get paid.
Nope. ICL players do not need a no objection certificate, they get banned anyway. All IPL players need a no objection certificate.
Stuart Law has got a NOC for example, which allows him to play county cricket after he is finished with ICL. Same applies to Kolpax ICL players, they have all been pretty much given NOC by their counties. As well as most Windies players like Hinds, Dillon and Best with regard to their domestic sides in the Windies. The Irish duo both got NOC after playing ICL. ICL players need them so they can still play in other competitions. Not all ICL players have been banned from domestic and international cricket
So basically the same as most county contracts in regard to international unavailability. But instead of getting paid per month, your salary drops by matches.
Source?
Just cricinfo over the last couple months.
It wont in most cases because the players have international commitments that preclude them from being available 100% of the time.
From that article, he seemed to be talking about the preliminary memorandum of understanding, not the full contracts. The full contracts came later than the date of that article (source).
I cant find anything detailed since then. Could it be that this MoU is all there is? Im sure there may be later contracts but where are they?
Thats the contract SMH was referring to, but I can't find its full text.
Ive found it. Reading it now
