- "No conflict of interest" is definitely an appreciable move by BCCI. After going through the series of blame game following the IPL knock-out, such a strong step has become the need of the hour. This rule is already applicable to the administrators and now it is the time of the players to come upfront to sign this deal.
'No conflict of interest' is just like a pact to keep the cricket out of commercial interest which often lures the players and other memebers of the board and gradually drags them down to the illegal measures, spoiling the image of the board as well as the charm of the gamke. In a country like India, where the players have huge fan club and they keep these players as ideal for their lives, it becomes the social responsibility of the players to keep-up the dignity and prestige.
Signing this deal would just keep players out of thelure of commercial benefits. Rest, the players can enjoy the same zeal of the game. Players should not forget the fact that they entered the field of cricket to satisfy their interest and desire for the sport, and not for the commercial front. They need to create their image in their game for which they are being paid for.
If the board feels like encouraging the players with some incentives, they can havce new plans and ideas to implement more beneficiaries to the performing players in the field. Hence, it is definitely a good idea to come up with"No conflict of Interest" in cricket for the players. - RE: "No conflict of interest" clause will improve the cricket! -RATAN SRIVASTAVA (08/03/15)
- The "No conflict of interest " should only be issued to the office bearers and not the players.This is because it is a source of motivation for the players not only in cricket but other sports too.Money is always an encouragement for anyone if players are not provided if this facilities it might hinder their performance.As we have seen a lot of complaints has come from non -cricketers about their pay,the organization must put restriction on their earnings from commercial interest but at the same time should open ways for their benefit.
