Yesterday, Domonic Cork did say that he knew of "5 or 6" players who are not going to play because of the recent events in India.
England are travelling to Dubai on Thursday to begin training with their Performance squad, a decision by each player will be made there if they wish to travel to India. The interesting thing here is that England will be taking players "to add to their performance squad", and it is rumoured that these players are back up for any 1st team player who does not wish to play.
Whoever England take, I fear another hammering is on the cards in this series, partly down to the recent events making them unprepared. Imagine this series if they had played after having lost and ODI series 7-0.
This "sexing up" of cricket" is risking losing all traditional values once held by cricketers and its supporters - that surely cant be a good thing - but then ask any of the IPL players if they think different.
