Don't forget to put Darren Bravo in the same boat as Samuels. Lil Bravo's negotiating to miss the Tests in England to play IPL, while Samuels is negotiating to miss the Tests against Australia to play in the IPL.

And you know Darren Bravo MR ENGLAND? if you think he's gonna miss a test series for such a low fee then you're more SENILE than i thought!! .

And btw you dodged the question i posed, but i guess i shouldn't be surprised as you do have an agenda!! .

'"I was in negotiations with the Mumbai Indians. It didn't go as great as I wanted. Nevertheless, Sachin Tendulkar is the main man for me. I was definitely looking to play with him one day. The offer arrived, but it boils down to my hero, and if I am a man of my word." A strong and agile athlete, Samuels is a hard-hitter and doubles up as a handy offspinner - all this make him a valuable commodity in Twenty20. Those facts were not lost on Ganguly, who had been keeping tabs on Samuels since West Indies' tour of Bangladesh in October 2012. Samuels made three half-centuries in four limited-overs outings on that tour, followed by three more across formats in India. By then Ganguly had one arm around Samuels' broad shoulders. Ganguly assured the Jamaican that he would be on his buying list if the impasse between the Warriors' owners Sahara and the BCCI were resolved. Incidentally, when the Warriors opted to sit out of the February 4 auction, none of the eight other franchises bid for Samuels. "It was definitely a league (IPL) that I was looking forward to play in," Samuels says. "I never got picked up in the auction because most of the teams didn't know of my availability. His [Ganguly's] team pulled out of the auction. But we still kept in touch and he was telling me that they need to fix a few things and pick me up as soon as everything is fixed. So said, so done." So as it stands, Samuels is the first player to be bought by the Warriors, after they signed a truce with the BCCI following their boycott of the auction. He did not disclose the fee Warriors are paying him for his services. "I am not going to tell you the fee. It's something to smile about." What is also not known yet is how many games Samuels would be available for since the IPL clashes with the West Indies home series against Australia, and their tour of England in May. Though Samuels is non-committal, one of the Warriors officials had said the he would be available for "ten-odd games".'

It's looking more and more certain that Samuels will miss some Tests to play in the IPL....
