What a irony! a cheap sale for someone who couldn't even play for his own country! HOW money determines cricket players' loyalty. ICC must ban money for cricket except national tournaments or playing in their home clubs for national players

He's extremely lucky to have got a bid. He need to evolve his game to survive, both in bowling and batting.
