List of contracted players announced

New Zealand Cricket has announced its list of contracted players for the 2006/7 season. Of most interest to fans is the news that Matthew Sinclair has got a contract, as have Andre Adams, Jeetan Patel, Jamie How, Peter Fulton, Michael Papps, Lou Vincent and Ross Taylor. Among those to miss out are Craig McMillan, Craig Cumming, Chris Harris, James Marshall, Darryl Tuffey and Paul Wiseman.

Even if Sinclair is only on the minimum pay scale ($45,000 retainer plus match fees) I suspect this will be enough to keep him in New Zealand. I can't see an Australian or South African province topping that kind of money for less than three months' work.
