Really? What this really reeks of is a lack of guts from the NZC. They obviously are too scared to stand up to the BCCI because if it wasn't for the latter, there would be no controversy with the ICL whatsoever.Gotta congrat the NZ cricket board, never thought they would have the guts to make that decision. It's a shame though Bond was the best bowler in the world on his day, the amount of swing he got in the Champions Trophy a few seasons but really stunned me.

CricInfo said:An ICC decision last October prevented any contracted player from appearing in an unsanctioned event without the global body's consent.
"This is a difficult situation and we must comply with ICC regulations and support other Member Countries and as a consequence can no longer entertain Shane playing for New Zealand," Justin Vaughan, the NZC chief executive, said. "At some stage in the future we may be able to welcome Shane back in, either when he is no longer playing for the ICL, or when that competition does not exist."
