New Delhi — Trent Vault's abandonment of their contract with New Zealand cricket is another sign of a revolution sweeping the game. A test match, but at breakneck speed for Twenty20 innings.

Boult, a key figure in the team that won the inaugural Worlds Test His Championship and finished runner-up in three limited overs His Worlds His Cup, will be black in the future. You'll be "significantly reducing your role" with Caps.

Left-armer Quick has requested release from his contract so he can spend more time with his young family, but a New Zealand Cricket (NZC) statement said the 33-year-old He also wanted to create his own. Available in "Domestic League".

With an international calendar jam-packed with his three formats of games, and the added burden of playing in his biosecure bubble during the COVID-19 pandemic, Players like Vault have been pushed to their breaking point.

England talisman Ben Stokes quit his 50-over format last month, citing an "unsustainable" workload. South Africa's Quinton De Kok quit his test cricket last year.

However, all three found time to play in India's Premier League (IPL). The IPL is the forerunner of his lucrative Twenty20 'domestic league' which is now skyrocketing around the world.

"The decision taken by Quinton DeCock, and particularly by Trent Vault, shows that international careers will be shortened and more players willing to be part of their gig economy." I tweeted.

"It's not easy to play both international cricket and the T20 league when you have a young family."

Including upcoming leagues, mushroom franchise cricket has become an easy choice for some players.

Mr Bhogle said it was unfair to criticize the franchise's cricket-prioritizing players for "greed and opportunism".

"Remember that a cricketer ends his playing career when most others are at their best," he added. "And we change jobs that offer more money and convenience, don't we?"

GUNS-FOR-HIRE

Became a freelancer for top Twenty20 and earns more from franchise cricket than from playing international cricket.

Ahead of this year's Twenty20 World Cup in Australia, West Indies chief his coach, Phil Simmons, said of his key players. I was frustrated by the uncertainty around availability.

"Ouch. There's no other way to say it," said an outraged Simmons on Wednesday.

"But what can I do? I don't think people should be begging to play for their country."

NZC Chief Executive David White , following Mr Boult's example, excluded any more New Zealand cricketers.

"They are still talking about Test his cricket and the performance in New Zealand is very important," White told his Cricinfo website.

"The other thing is that to get big offers from the big leagues, you have to be a successful international cricketer."

International Cricket Council (ICC) discussed the growth of the T20 league at its annual meeting in Birmingham last month, but those expecting leadership from the ICC may be disappointed.

The Board has placed the responsibility on the Member Boards on finding a balance between domestic and bilateral cricket to better manage the burden on players. (Reporting by Amlan Chakraborty of him in New Delhi; Editing by Pritha Sarkar)
