DOES elite level cricket have flood insurance? Following on from the situation at Durham late last year and the actions taken by the ECB, I see signings made by counties and ponder how their salaries must impact on a club’s flexibility.
Nottinghamshire’s signing of Cheteshwar Pujara as cover for James Pattinson will have the rest of Division Two looking at their own options and how they can grow in stature.
Surely, it can only be so long until the bubble bursts. Hopefully, ECB and ICC measures can keep cricket’s integrity intact.
