But along came the mega-wealth of the Indian Premier League (IPL), turning New Zealand cricket upside down with an immense power that stretched beyond the Twenty20 circuit.
In a country which has a small talent pool to begin with, some players were excused national duties to play for the IPL while others were barred from Test cricket for signing with the rival Indian Cricket League (ICL).
“You want your national team to include the very best players and I think it’s quite clear we haven’t been able to do that in recent times,” New Zealand Cricket chief executive Justin Vaughan said.
The handful of players who signed for the first IPL series last year were freed from New Zealand’s warm-up games before the Test series in England so they could make money in India.
