Former England opener Geoffrey Boycott has urged England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to dock money from players who prioritise Indian Premier League over national duty. However what Boycott missed out in his column for the Daily Telegraph is that all cricket boards whose enlisted players in the IPL need to pay 10 percent of their salaries to the respective boards.
Last week, England head coach Chris Silverwood confirmed that IPL-bound England players will be available for the entire tournament, which means those involved in the final stages of the cash-rich league are most likely to miss the opening Test against New Zealand. "All these players made their names playing international cricket with England and are well paid, rightly so. Nobody begrudges them rich rewards," Boycott wrote in the `Daily Telegraph`.
