If that plan includes him being unavailable for test series then it's not a particularly good one.

A central contract in cricket is an agreement between a cricket board and a player that guarantees a fixed salary and other benefits, ensuring the player’s availability for national team duties.
Definition and Purpose
A central contract is a formal agreement issued by a cricket board, such as the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), to selected players who represent the national team. The main purpose is to secure the services of top players, provide financial stability, and ensure they are available for international matches and tours without conflicts with domestic or franchise commitments

. It also allows boards to reward players based on performance, fitness, and contribution to the team.
Remuneration
Salaries under central contracts vary depending on the format and player status. For example, in England:- Players participating in all formats (Tests, ODIs, T20s) can earn up to £800,000 per annum
- Additional match fees are often provided for each Testa
Obligations and Benefits
Players under central contracts are expected to:- Be available for all national team matches and tours
Significance
Central contracts help cricket boards retain top talent, manage player workload, and maintain team consistency. They also protect players from conflicts with lucrative franchise leagues by offering guaranteed retainers, ensuring national team commitments are prioritized

.In summary, a central contract is a strategic tool in professional cricket that balances player remuneration, availability, and performance incentives while securing the long-term interests of both the player and the national team.
So amending contract as and when you please.i.e. Taking the p!ss.
No wonder there's so much indiscipline amongst these prima donnas.
What's point of quoting him as surely you must have realised by now that he has you on ignore so won't see your trolling

Yeh,that's the dilemma England have -Greedy players who want the best of both worlds.Archer bowled a total of 60 overs over a 2 month period of the IPL but needs a rest!
If he doesn't present fit and ready,however, for the 2nd test,he's clearly not committed to England. He's taking the p!ss.

What do you mean?
He's defended Archer.
Do you mean that finally someone has finally come out put a nail in the coffin of international cricket?
As frankly it's worrying England captain has backed players choosing franchise cricket over international cricket.

It's a bit like the Super League issue in football. My view is the same. Fuck them. There's plenty of cricketers who will put representing England over lining their pockets. Let them go.
