IPL signings anger Cricket Australia

[Sureshot]

No, this is the ICC backed league that players are selling themselves out for.

So this isn't the rebel league that players are selling themselves out for?

No, that is the ICL which is on Zee Music and is currently in progress.

Either way, it's still a load of cock and nonsense. Get 'em fined.

For trying to earn money? What irony.

CA pays players $150,000 a year.
IPL will pay players $140,000 to play in a 14 game tournament.

I can't imagine someone like Ponting earning little over £50K.

Players will obey board - Gilchrist

Adam Gilchrist and Cricket Australia's chief executive James Sutherland have dismissed reports that there is a rift between the players and the board over the Indian Premier League (IPL). The Sun-Herald printed a letter in which Sutherland expressed his disappointment that 11 Australian-contracted players had not consulted Cricket Australia before signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that would let them play in the IPL.

However, Gilchrist said there was no substance to suggestions that the players could choose to play in the IPL ahead of Tests or ODIs for their country. "No one will play [in the IPL] without consent," Gilchrist told AAP. "We're not trying to be rebels here. It's a new opportunity for cricketers and it's a very exciting one that I know Cricket Australia are endorsing and encouraging.

[Almost_Austwick]

The £50k per year is a retainer, just for the sake of making the contract binding.

They will receive match fees, training fees and expenses which will add up to a lot more over the course of a year.
