Gilchrist needs CA nod for IPL stint

“Bond has been sympathetic to NZC’s situation,” New Zealand Cricket said in a statement. “Despite his playing agreements allowing him to continue playing for (New Zealand) and the ICL agreement only requiring his services when international commitments allow, he has decided in the best interests of NZC to terminate his playing agreement,” it said. “This has occurred by mutual consent.”

Bond, 32, played only 17 Tests for New Zealand in an injury-plagued career, taking 79 wickets at an average of 22.39. He took 125 wickets in 67 one-day internationals at an average of 19.32.

“I have taken immense pride in playing for the Black Caps,” Bond said. “I believed I could continue to do so for the term of my contract while also taking up the ICL opportunity. Given what has happened, I want to do the right thing by NZC, so at their request I have terminated my contract. I will continue to be available to play for the Black Caps and look forward to doing so once again when NZC deems this appropriate.”
