Pat Cummins and Marnus Labuschagne have accepted three-year Cricket Australia contracts and two-year deals have been handed to six others as Twenty20 franchises continue to circle around the world’s top cricket talent.
“The NSP support and endorse the change to the MOU agreement which allows further scope for additional contracts,” selection chair George Bailey said when announcing the contract list, “which in turn creates additional depth to call on in the next period, as well as retaining the ability to utilise others from outside of this list.”
Between then and now, multi-year deals were offered only occasionally, with three-year deals exceptionally rare: Ricky Ponting and Brett Lee were two such players to be handed those terms at various times.
