Mathews is the only good ODI player out of that bunch mentioned in the report. Even he is an uncertainty for the next WC because of fitness and age. So they are not really losing a lot although they are ditching about 5 players.
I am not saying he picked franchise leagues over SL but I am not sure his mind was really set on playing for the national team unless he was given the captaincy or something like that. That's why I said he was an enigma.
