Taylor takes swipe at T20 cricket – Cricket News Roundup – Part 1 – April 25, 2013
Former Australian captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mark-Anthony-Taylor-c74540, believes that the lure of T20 cricket has negatively impacted on the team’s Test match batting resources.
Taylor argued that young players are more concerned with hitting sixes rather than working on their batting techniques. He gave the example of young all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, who was scooped up for US $1 million by Indian Premier League outfit Mumbai Indians.
Maxwell was recently excluded from the Ashes squad after a poor tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
"If you look at the IPL and the money that's going around there, that's got to be a big influence I think. As much as they all say 'Test cricket's the No. 1', a million dollars is very distracting," Taylor told ESPNcricinfo. "You look at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glenn-Maxwell-c60189 getting
US$1 million to go play in the IPL and he's not even playing. How do you compete with that?
