Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[DJC]

That explains why two dozen of our best T20 cricketers didn't receive a bid, how many is in our WC squad again?

All sorts for excuses can be made for this, but the reality is Test and other International commitments have never stopped bids before because players only get paid if they actually play. These days guys could be in Mumbai playing IPL today and back for the domestic comp on the weekend.

At this stage, about 75% of the foreign player allowance has been used:

11 Aussies
9 Kiwis
8 Saffies
7 Windies
5 Poms
3 Afghanis
1 Bangladeshi
1 Nepali

And no Sri Lankans - definitely something dodgy there
