Matthew Hayden Suggests Pay Cut Of Players Missing Matches For Australia
Former Australia opener Matthew Hayden on Friday called for a pay cut of players who will be missing from the country's matches. Hayden's comments come after Test captain Pat Cummins, opener David Warner, pacers Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, will be rested for white-ball matches against Pakistan in March.
"When players are choosing not to play for their country it is a massive flag of concern for your high-performance set-up. I just don't reckon it passes the pub test. The single biggest thing which ties everything together at that level is that you are all really keen to play for your country and if you haven't got that, I actually question whether you have a high performance culture at all," Hayden was quoted as saying by 'The Australian'.
