IPL snub – Taylor not disappointed

National cricket team captain Brendan Taylor is not disappointed about missing out on India’s ongoing premier Twenty20 (T20) cricket tournament, the Indian Premier League (IPL).

While acknowledging that it was a huge motivation to be playing in the IPL for any cricketer, Taylor felt the national team was in a transition phase having come out of isolation from International Cricket Council Futures Tour Programme.

A total of 27 national team players put their names forward for the IPL player auction in January, but none made the grade, including Taylor, who had previously featured in T20 tournaments in New Zealand and Bangladesh.
