KEY POINTS:
New Zealand Cricket has cancelled Lou Vincent's New Zealand Cricket contract after he signed with the unsanctioned Indian Cricket League.
New Zealand Cricket CEO Justin Vaughan said Vincent had signed with the ICL without first seeking permission from NZC, as required by his contract.
"I have met with Lou and the New Zealand Cricket Players Association over the past couple of days and have expressed to them how disappointed I was that Lou had breached his NZC contract," Vaughan said.
"We stand by these contracts regardless of performance or injury and we expect players to do the same.
"I understand the NZCPA will be talking to players about the need to honour the terms of their contracts."
More to come.
