New Zealand Face Club vs Country Dilemma As Top Players Opt Out Of Central Contracts
New Zealand cricket is increasingly grappling with the club vs country dilemma, as more high-profile players choose to opt out of central contracts. With the team gearing up for a challenging stretch of nine Test matches in the coming months, Test captain Tim Southee has acknowledged the issue, attributing it to the "changing landscape of international cricket." Southee expressed optimism that cricket boards and franchise leagues could find a way to "work together" to address the situation.
