Australia’s Pat Cummins and Travis Head have turned down a ₹58 crore per year offer from an IPL team group to quit international cricket. The deal would have seen them play in global T20 leagues full-time, but both chose to stay loyal to Australia. Cummins, who leads the team, earns about ₹17.5 crore yearly with bonuses, while Head earns ₹8.7 crore. Both also play for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL. The rejected deal highlights growing pressure from T20 leagues as cricket boards discuss new ways to retain top players and attract private investment. (PC: AP)
