Just imagine Tendulkar on the phone with all his sponsorers calling him to shoot commerical ads inbetween the worldcup matches. Your concentration with your job is going to have a toll when you think about how to rip more money from your sponsorers. Tendulkar sure will bounce back from his bad patch. But 2007 cup is gone forever. What is the cause for this? Let them earn how much ever they want from one sponsorer( not even 3, BCCI is still lenient on this). This is because you are playing for your country and not a CLUB!

are you saying that if you cut endorsements then India will suddenly start winning (how can anyone ensure this?). your logic is beyond my understanding.players have agents to deal with sponsors, and i don't think they are allowed to go between matches. Ads shoots are done on a players personal time(as in when there is no series or cricket), BCCI is in violation of their (the players) personal rights. As an employee if the players don't meet the standards, by all means kick them out of the team, but i really don't think an employer has any rights to tell them what do off field. I think if BCCI doesn't see sense soon, it will most likley face a lawsuit.
India's performance was abysmal, and i can understand people are very dissapointed, but this is no way to behave. BCCI is simply trying to evade responsibity, why does it not focus on better selection process, better domestic structure, instead of squabling over money.

All the time people say endorsement is good for the cricketers Is it at the cost of country they sign contract with clause that how minute they spend on crease according to that they will be paid that means player got his booty at expense of country who can tolerate that.Never did it needs to happpen i think BCCI should take decision that they are not restricting player on endorsement but payer should give 60% to BCCI as at cost of them they are playing.If no one agree show them the door and pick other there are crores playing cricket unlike hockey needs of hour is come out of comfort zone that chappel suggested.Lots of raw talent is there moreover when your stomach is full with endorsement than what is need to play for match fees score century or half every 5th /6th match or stay on crease holding one end let india loses n cement your place.Then talk to media i played but team failed

What you people dont realize is that you can have the same effect by demanding that they play X number of domestic matches or any other criteria that makes them play. How do you even know if 3 is a low or a hign number! Its a silly decision by BCCI, the goal can be achieved in other ways. Too quick to pull the trigger in my opinion
