My opinion is that they are just being paid for being in the team as "icon" and showpieces!.
There must be a restriction on number of matches (,3-4),they play.They must be rested for next two.If they don't perform well in two,they must be replaced.Newcomers will get a chance early.
Players like,Shewag, Laksman and even Tendulkar to name a few, are included for their past performances.Their certainity factor is questionable.Its time others are given a chance.There are many waiting.Every match try out newcomers.
They must be paid for the number of matches the y have won,if selected. Newcomers must be played a standard fee for playing.
Money pressure may make them perform better.Cricket in India is about a lot of moolah.Let the players EARN it.
No more easy money for them!
ICC,BCCI can divert extra crores to other games and sports personel.
