England Contracted Players

[jun23]

Just wondering if the english contracted players salaries contribute to your salary cap and also if there is any kolpak players in the future

You don't have to pay the salary of England contracted players, they are paid by the cricket board.

Well Cricket Australia is partly funded by the goverment, which is partly funded by taxpayers, that's why I asked Andrew.

In the UK, no sporting body is funded by government. The closest they get is occasionally contributing towards the building of stadiums. Some sports also apply for money from the National Lottery, which I suppose you could say was a kind of tax.

Cheers, thanks Andrew. Much appreciated for the information.
And then when you think about the Premier League (soccer) they could fund themselves 10 times over.

LOL, the spoilt little brats. Isn't there about 100 stadiums in the UK now? How do they fit them all in?

Well they knocked down the old Wembley to put the new one in!
