So it seems KP is no longer sponsored by adidas . Who is he going to next
-
Whoever it is obviously earns too much to be able to pay him loads and give him kit :)
-
While in India and at short notice? Reckon he'll just end up wth some stickers.
Mrf or hero Honda would suit the Indian market.
But.
I reckon just for a laugh Nike might pay him to rock there stickers(the ones rahane has) just to pee adidas off.
-
Kicking Horse?
-
Bosom Bats? He is a tit, after all.
-
I reckon he will end up at kookaburra because they have lost many players in a couple of years and need somebody to use their bats
-
So,
Will it be a tyre company? MRF, CEAT, etc.?
Will it be a major Indian brand? Spartan, SS/TON
Will it be a sportswear company? NIKE, NB, Puma, Hummel?
Will it be a blank bat throughout IPL?

Bellingham and smith.KP to play for South africa as soon as he qualifies.
-
^ or I'm whoring myself out to the highest bidder, in the ultimate cricketing shop window. Very good timing!
Sky sports reporting he's open to playing for SA. Saw that coming two years ago...
-
He can't play for SA until 2018, he's also quoted as saying "An English call up is still an option....".
Is it Kevin, is it really.

Depends.. If you're picking the best players at the time then sure.. He'd sit in still in a fair few formats..
I forgot, we have a few ecb lovers around who lap their party line and 'get behind the boys' trick.
All depends on your criteria.. Is Bairstow a better batsmen?? Is Taylor?? Is hales?
-
I think if youve played for one country you shouldn't be allowed to go play for another. I will not support him in anything if he does play for SA, i know that wont matter to anyone but i think its outrageous!

I hope you have the same stance for things like drugs cheats and corrupt players who've been caught taking cash etc?
Anyway, someone will sponsor him st some point and if they don't, he's got more than enough cash to buy a few bats and gloves
-
Durex?
Cos he's a bit of a c###

I have a south African wife so can enjoy him playing at the highest level again.
Pretty sure SA won't pick him though.

£5.00 a week Two bats Two gloves One pair pads One Duffle DONE DEAL :)

you forgot his Horizon socks mate that is the strangest request i have seen Gary..
We had one player ask for quite a few pairs !!!! over 20
-
Spare spikes and 60 Grips yes 60 is the strangest to date

Absolutely on pure talent and ability he'd still be involved across the formats but it's been made abundantly clear his international for England at least is over, particularly of Strauss has anything to do with it. I'm just not sure he's accepted this.
Anyway, apologies for hijacking the thread with yet more KP guff.
-
I feel for KP - he was a sensational batsman to watch at the international Test level. He hasn't emerged as the absolutely best-of-the-best T-20 batsman in the international premier league circuit though. He shouldn't be floating ideas of playing for SA, he'd be 37 by then and may have an equally unceremonious end to his international career. His best bet is to continue to grow in the international T-20 circuit with utmost professionalism and hope that Andrew Strauss lets him back in England colors.
-
He will never play for England again
EVER
-

As above, he'll never play but it's down to politics not talent. The fact politics is a part of it says more about the ecb and the fans who blindly follow the ecb than anything else.
Still, no amount of forum posts, Twitter, petitions or kp scoring run after run will change anything.
-
Of course you are both right, he will never play for England again, and apologies for anyone who is miffed the thread is slightly off subject, it's not deliberate.....
There are a lot of fans who think he should still be playing, and there's a lot of us fans who think he should'nt and are really really happy with the current England side.
I've followed England since i was about 13 and that's a long time ago, and I'm optimistic we are getting where we want to be and in a good position with other players in the wings...having a good coach helps and we have two in farbrace and Bayliss-bringing on and developing young talent.
KP actually does have more of a chance playing for SA. If you think about it SA have had a few top class players retire at the same time.
The idea of Pieterson playing for them is not as daft as it may seem
And he would not be the only player to play for two Countries...
Just my opinion on it :)
-

He won't but he should he's been treated shabbily rather have him in the team than Morgan .
-
KP suggesting he might play for SA in 2018....think he will be past his best...

Like sangakkara.. Oh wait.. Or kallis?? Oh wait
-
Am i the only one who feels KP is desperate ? He is not going to get into either England or SA team. I am quite sure most of them consider him as a T20 specialist now. That's all he is going to get ...
On the sponsorship note, i think SS is likely to snap him up for this IPL season. Don't know who will sponsor him in the long run ...
-
Trojan?
-
Rumours circulating that a new sponsor has made an official offer to his wife for the sponsorship of KP.
Femfresh, for those irritating c@#%s
-
Just imagine if he went back to Woodworm and got the Torch stickers rerun and used them...
-
It appears KP had already got his hands on some others to try based on this video on his Instagram feed

-
hmm now hes injured just to ruin the fun.
-
According to his Instagram he's not playing again till November so he's got plenty of time to ponder over all the offers he's no doubt received!
-
Yeah Dhoni did say his injury was a blessing in disguise as he can play another allrounder but wouldnt of known the extent of the injury
Quite serious if he is out for 6 months
-
I reckon Bupa might sponsor him now
-
from what i read the only cricket he has is the ipl and the Caribbean premier league before taking our summer as his holiday. it just happens that he isnt contracted to play any cricket again until november not that the injury is that severe.
at least that was the way i read it
-
The off field costs of clobber he had/demanded were staggering!!

Except the carribean premiership starts in June and runs to August, bang in middle of our summer. So he's out injured until then Atleast

What is "clobber"? British slang?
-

Yes for clothing/trainers etc..
-
He was always planning to take the summer off to spend with his family. Benefits of being a T20 gun for hire!
-
SS Ton or SG might sponsor him, because they are trying to push into UK market.
-
I'm not sure KP is the best man to use for a push in the UK market. Doesn't play in or for England....
-
Can't remember if it's been said but maybe spartan as indians love the brand and he will no doubt be in the big bash again next year
-
Looks like the big brands like Nike, adidas and reebok have finally realised paying cricketers stupid amounts for bat sponsorship isn't a great business plan! Suspect the same will happen to new balance in a year or 2.
Kp looks like he's still getting free gear from adidas though
-
Be interesting to see how NB go long term, seems like they are actually selling decent amounts of gear (here anyway) and have clearly put more thought into the kit than most of the other big boys did. Plus the sheer amount of sponsorships they've got in place. Kit always wins out in the long run it seems, other than the Adidas boots you never see a lot of Adidas/Nike gear, whereas Puma stuff is much more common - which isn't surprising given the quality of their softs.
-
I'd be surprised if NB let up on the cricket front, they've got plenty of cash to spare and I can't imagine the cricket operation as a whole will be putting much of a dent in their pockets (even paying Root £200k per year is pocket change for them after all!). The amount of extra non-cricket related kit they'll sell off the back on these sponsorships will more than likely cover the costs (t-shirts/hoodies/training gear etc)
