Contract issues

The New Zealand cricketers may go on strike. Of course no-one is going to notice because they don't have any cricket to play, but I am sure that they will tell us that this is beside the point. $200,000 is a pitiful amount for sitting around on your arse all summer.

According to the Herald the issue that has the players up in arms is a "participation contract" which addresses personal image and sponsorship rights during ICC tournaments. The players claim that such a contract will reduce their capacity to earn sponsorship money and is, in essence, a restraint on their ability to earn.
