Yea, that's all he could do last season. But something to note is to compare him to Wood who Rob Key said was the best bowler he say in our T20 comp last season. If Wood's ankle doesn't hold up then maybe all he will be able to do is T20 cricket.

I fear you could be right about Woody. He'll probably have to make that decision if it gans again cos he'll have to look after himself in the long term financially and luckily for him T20s should allow him to do just that.

Shame if it comes to that though cos he clearly loves playing the game.
 
when does the champions trophy start?

I assume once the ipl is finished?
 
More on the payments/compensation.........

The PCA will meet with Andrew Strauss, the England director, to negotiate a new compensation scheme to replace the current one, which will see Ben Stokes docked potentially up to £140,000 for playing in the IPL this year.

Centrally contracted Test players like Stokes and Chris Woakes are deducted 0.5 per cent of their £700,000 a year salary by the ECB for each day they are on IPL duty. White ball players such as Jos Buttler and Jason Roy face losing one per cent every day for 21 days of IPL duty, which drops to 0.75 per cent thereafter. A white ball contract is worth an estimated £180,000.

The money is to compensate counties for losing England players to the IPL at a time when they might be expected to play championship cricket. Stokes will be away for around 39 days.

"There are discussions ongoing at the moment. The compensation model has been around for six years so we, the PCA and ECB are discussing what a future model should look like because it is felt the present model is not right going forward," said David Leatherdale, the chief executive of the PCA.

In the past the payments were put in place as a deterrent because English cricket viewed the IPL suspiciously and counties felt they would lose their best players overseas for a chunk of the championship season. But Strauss has encouraged players to play in the IPL and many leading cricketers now negotiate an IPL clause in their county deals.


The money is no problem for Stokes who will earn around £2.4m from cricket next year but for players like Chris Jordan or Roy, who are only earning between £60,000 to £120,000 in the IPL, a decent chunk of their payment will disappear.

Can anybody clarify if DCCC gets any money?

Dunno, but they won't have to meet his wages bill while he's away, that's something.

Pietersen tweeted today that the £1.4m IPL deal for Tymal Mills was a slap in the face for Test Cricket. He didn't think that when he was he was top dollar winner in the IPL auction. Sour grapes? He signed a contract with Surrey couple a seasons ago "to get more County games" under his belt (aka getting back in the England side) then toddled off to India and hardley played a game for them all season.
