Howzat for big bucks!


Life as a top-class cricketer – and even not-so-top class – has never been better in India, what with the Indian Premier League Twenty:20 cricket offering staggering wages as high as RM7.3mil to play for less than six weeks.

INDIAN cricketers never had it so good. To be paid a whopping US$2 million-plus (RM6.1mil) to play for less than six weeks will be every youngster’s dream, particularly in a country with a per capita income well below the US$1,000 (RM3,060) mark.
