Cricket: Cricketers to suffer as NZC cut costs
The NZC will pass on the burden to the players by keeping part of their salaries on hold until 2015.
WELLINGTON:
The country’s players are likely to bear the maximum brunt of New Zealand Cricket’s (NZC) decision to cut costs by $3 million. The NZC will pass on the burden to the players by keeping part of their salaries on hold until 2015 and ensuring the current crisis does not affect the country’s domestic schedule. “That [reducing the domestic schedule] would very much be a last possible option,” NZC Chief Executive Justin Vaughan told the Sunday Star-Times. “This is because we are a cricket organisation and we want to preserve as much content and as much cricket as possible,” added Vaughan.
