List of players getting contracts will be out next week and domestic season to kick off in November

What's the bet that in 12 months there will be another player strike looming over unpaid salaries. Nothing will change as long as the same crooks are in charge.

I added it just for you. I never knew anyone could dislike the Roosters. I figured they were everyone's second team.

I'm going to go with sarcasm on that

We won’t have to wait 12 months to see non payments and problems.
The first hurdle may well be the players’ reactions to the major cut backs that we’re assuming will happen.
They’re obviously talking about cutting back on the the number of central contracts, but if they reduce the number of FC guys that are getting salaries, albeit late and minuscule, you’re going to see quite a few people reconsidering their cricket careers.
If they don’t have a plan in place to ensure that all the FC guys are paid as professionals, even if it’s match by match, it’s all going to implode. If our local boys played for the love of the game they’d have organized their own games and they’d be playing right now. This is the problem we face- ZC have made all cricket entirely dependent upon them, and the sad part is that it has not been that difficult. Nobody wants to organize anything and players are invariably not reliable enough to commit to games a week in advance, let alone a season, if there’s no financial incentive. They want everything laid on and for free. Sorry but it’s true.

What about future of ZRS in domestic cricket as a fifth franchise for this season ? They have done well in longer formats and great in one day games

This money from the ICC should be enough to put every cricketer in the country on a decent salary surely? How much in US$ would you need to pay a domestic cricketer so they could earn a living playing cricket?
