Ravi Bopara terminate lucrative IPLT20 offer

Ravi Bopara is one of best all-rounder in the England team. He has been offered from a franchise of Indian Premier League (IPLT20). The offered figure was too high but Ravi did not become encourage with the huge money. He directly denied it and told that he want to give 100% concentration to English County Cricket.

In his voice, he showed a great confidence about his performances in English Cricket. He told PA Sport ,"Of course when figures like these are put in front of you it is tempting, but my goal is to play regularly for England so I am confident that if I continue to score runs and take wickets for Essex then I will hopefully play for England this summer and for many years to come."

Not only he but also the coach Paul Grayson of Essex support him that he will do best in the season. "Ravi is a highly-talented cricketer with bat and ball so it was inevitable he would be wanted for a competition like the IPL," said Paul Grayson, the Essex coach. "We appreciate the loyalty Ravi has shown as he wants us to continue the progress we have made here at Essex after a good start to the season. I believe he has made a wise decision because if he keeps producing the goods for us he will have a long and successful career with England ahead of him."

I really appreciate him that he did not show any interest in that money. His concentration is totally on his career not on earning money.
