PLAYERS' chiefs will talk to
England's top cricketers and officials
next week in a bid to find
a way to accommodate them in
future seasons of the Indian Premier
League.
Following Lalit Modi, the IPL
chairman, reiterating his willingness
to shift the dates of the
cash rich 20-over competition in
future years to accommodate
Englishmen, the Professional
Cricketers' Association will canvass
the views of the national
side once they are over their New
Zealand-fuelled jet lag.
Discourse is also planned with
the England and Wales Cricket
Board over the most pressing
current issue in the domestic
game.

Although Dimitri Mascarenhas
is the only England international
in this year's tournament,
which starts next month, plans
need to be put in place if a window
is to be opened in future.
We will ask the players how
they feel,'' said PCA chief executive
Sean Morris. We need to
sit them down and ask their personal
views, some might have
different opinions to others.
But I would like to think on
behalf of the players we would
be able to take advantage of this
concept and allow them to reap
the benefits.
There may be a very strong
collective view but there may
also be different circumstances
for each individual which would
effect their decision. We have a
very open dialogue with the ECB
right now, we met this week and
will be meeting with them again
next week, so there is a strong
channel of communication."
