Daniel Vettori, the Black Caps captain, has given his country his all over the past decade. And he will continue doing so, barring that time of the year when New Zealand's itinerary clashes with the IPL's.
The left-arm spinner, therefore, wants his country's board to recognise his fellow players' desire to play in the Twenty20 tournament and reschedule matches accordingly.
Vettori is one of six senior players who delayed signing central contracts until Friday after scheduling conflicts between IPL and New Zealand's programme next season had been clarified.
"It's a difficult decision and people have families and other issues to work through but our priority was to play for New Zealand," Vettori told the Herald on Sunday yesterday.
"But we realise that if these situations continue to come up it will be difficult for players to continue to turn down the money, so we implore the powers that be to find a solution so we don't have to make these decisions every year."
Several Black Caps arrived late for their tour of England in 2008 so they could play in the IPL.

Why your domicile status is important
Your UK residence status is assessed using the statutory residence test. While your residence status – ie where you live - is assessed every year, your domicile status is assessed over your lifetime.
Your domicile of origin generally comes from your parents and if your parents were not married, then it is decided by your father. Your domicile is generally the country your father considered his permanent home when you were born.
UK residents who have their permanent home ("domicile") outside the UK may not have to pay UK tax on foreign income. For example, they do not pay tax on foreign income or gains if they are less than £2,000 in the tax year and do not transfer that gain to a UK bank account.
A UK-domiciled person, however, is liable for UK tax on their worldwide income and gains when they are resident in the UK.
