Former Captain England Michael Vaughan (photo by Stu Forster/Getty Images) The international cricket as a whole has its own shortcomings and challenges. He prefers to concentrate his career on home leagues and competitions across countries over the dressing of the national team jersey so that the stars retire from an international duty, the current scenario is far from ideal. In a serious discussion of the current state of sport, cricket legends Brian Lara, Alastair Cook, David Lloyd, Phil Tufnell and Michael Vaughan, they debated what could potentially rectify current problems.The legends that spoke about the “Hell to Cricket” podcast have moved over what the most “unpleasant” thing is in the modern game, all alternating. “That playing for your country is not the biggest thing,” Cook said, provoking a sharp reaction from the rest of the legends. Brian Lara stood with former England Captain.In a long boasting of how money is not shared equally among different cricket boards around the world, Vaughan said, “I think what the game most bothers me must be exactly the same – but just like West Indies, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, New Zealand – must get more cakes.”The legend claimed that paying players would better do directly to play in their country for a long time. The same instance can be seen when retiring Nicholas Pooran at the age of 29 from an international cricket.

“So you can pay your players a nicer amount of money that will remain for your country for longer. That’s my biggest bugbear,” Vaughan exclaimed.

What do you think is the biggest problem in international cricket today?
Lara said, “The truth is that I don’t think the cricket council of West India or the administration has done something meaningful for players to be loyal to the cricket of West India, unlike what in countries like England, Australia or even India, do.”
