The Kolpak Rule in force.

They aren't preventing him from working because as hourn stated they are just preventing him from competing in their competition.

Can't see how that is preventing him from working, because he is still able to work for Leicestershire, just not able to compete in their competition.

If it was like the FA and the Premiership, then the FA could accept the player to play in FA Cup but Premiership could refuse to let him play. Would they have to supply a reason? I don't know much about it so can't comment.

Mainly the fact that Henderson can sue the ECB in that case, because they are not allowing him to work, as it is restraint of trade under the EU legislation. And, if he goes high enough and is persistent enough, he will win, as shown in that case with Kolpak quoted higher up in the thread.

So basically its a case of the US sue all free for all mentality shining through... And sooner or later the two overseas player rule will mean absolutely nothing at all when individuals have more power than the bodies they play for...

Why hasnt this crisis happened earlier?

It's taken a long time to learn the litigious arts which have long manifested themselves 'over the pond', but I think we're getting there.

Me to sue AMF for my knee in 5....4....3....

I fear a player Exodus from SA Domestic cricket.. just like we have seen in Zimbabwe... I dont think this is good for anyone really...

Whats the point for an 18 year old to continue with his cricket?? When theres a 32 year old SA batsman who averages 30 playing every match??

Yeah that is the world, but because of some law they cant to jack about it.

Couldnt the ECB sat with the British Government and tried and got cricket excluded from it or legally it wouldnt of been possible?

Probably not, because cricket is seen not as a sport, but as a form of employment like all others....
