Shane Bond
New Zealand’s gun fast bowler Shane Bond was probably the biggest player to get affected due to participation in the ICL. Bond mentions in his book that there was a bit of confusion with New Zealand cricket, who had assured them that he would be able to play for the national side even after playing in the ICL. However, when the ICC prohibited the ICL players, the NZC took a back step. Thus, Bond’s contract with New Zealand cricket team was terminated.
Once, Bond terminated his contract with the ICL, he made an International comeback in 2009. Bond had a Test average of 22.09 and an ODI average of 20.88, which goes to show his brilliance. However, Bond’s career was also impacted badly due to the spate of injuries.
