NZ Central Contract: Why are Kane Williamson, Trent Boult and other great players leaving playing for the country?
NZ Central Contract: New Zealand team could not qualify for Super-8 in T20 World Cup 2024. After this New Zealand captain Kane Williamson rejected the annual contract (Central Contract) proposed by the New Zealand Cricket Board. Kane has also given up the captaincy of New Zealand’s ODI and T20 team. Both decisions will have a huge impact on the New Zealand team in the future. It was under Kane’s leadership that New Zealand won the World Test Championship title. It was under Kane’s leadership that the New Zealand team reached the final of the 2019 ODI World Cup. Along with Kane, fast bowler Lockie Ferguson has also turned down the national contract. A year ago, New Zealand fast bowler Trent Boult, all-rounder Jamie Neesham and Colin de Grandhomme also decided to opt out of the annual contract. But why is this happening, players are hesitant to play for the country, let’s find out? What is in the Central Contract of New Zealand Cricket Board? New Zealand male cricketers get Rs 5 lakh per Test, Rs 2 lakh for ODIs and Rs 1.20 lakh for playing T20s. The salary of New Zealand players is less than that of Indian players. A big player like Kane Williamson gets a salary of Rs 2.5 crore every year after being signed. This does not include the fees received from T20 leagues. NZ Central Contract Rules & Conditions: If a contract is entered into, what are the terms and conditions? The New Zealand Cricket Board signs annual contracts with some players every year. Contracted players get a payment. Only contracted players are given priority for national team selection. Contracted players must be ready to play Tests, ODIs and T20s for New Zealand. Barring injury or personal difficulty, it is the contracted player’s responsibility to drop everything and be available to play whenever called upon by the New Zealand team. However, once signed, they do not have the option of not playing. Why are the players rejecting the New Zealand Board’s Central Contract? It is mandatory to play for New Zealand for one year after signing the contract. T20 leagues have started all over the world on the lines of IPL. Playing in this league brings good earnings. But playing in this league takes time. However, due to the national team’s tours and matches, players cannot voluntarily participate in the league. New Zealand players are turning down national contracts because they feel it is better to play in a T20 league for a month than commit for a year. After giving a certain month of availability to the league, they can devote the rest of the time to their family. Due to the money required to run the household, facilities and limited playing time, the number of players not accepting annual contracts is increasing. Is it because of family time? If you accept the national contract given by the New Zealand Cricket Board, you have to continue playing for New Zealand for one year. Therefore, players are not able to give enough time to family…

Babar Azam said that the performance of the Pakistan team will be reviewed after returning home. Babar admitted that his team did not play well and fell behind in ‘close matches’. Will Babar Azam resign from captaincy? “When I stepped down from captaincy (in 2023), I thought I shouldn’t do this anymore and I announced it myself. Then when they gave me back the captaincy, it was the PCB’s decision, not mine. “When I go back we will discuss what has happened here. And if I have to step down from captaincy I will announce it openly. I will not hide anything. Whatever happens will be out in the open. But for now, I have not thought about it. It is ultimately the PCB’s decision.” ‘Will I play in place of the other 10 players?’: Babar Azam On not being able to reach Super 8, Babar Azam said- “Everyone is sad. We did not play as a team. I told you that we did not lose because of one player. We lost as a team. I am not saying this because of any one person. You are saying that we lost because of the captain. Will I now play in place of the other 10 players?” “There are 11 players in the team and everyone has their own role so they came here to play the World Cup, I think as a team we failed. So we have to stay calm. Also we have to accept that as a team we did not perform well.”
