Bond in talks regarding future

New Zealand Cricket has confirmed they are in talks with Shane Bond to discuss his playing future.

Bonds future with the Black Caps is in doubt after he reportedly signed a three-year deal with the rebel Indian Cricket League.

New Zealand cricket nor Bond will be making any public comment until the process has been completed.

Meanwhile, international cricket must remain the number one priority for New Zealand cricket according to Players Association head Heath Mills.

New Zealand Cricket is coming under pressure from the powerful Board of Cricket Control in India to stop its players from taking part in the ICL.

However Mills says it's important that private investors are encouraged to be involved in the game.

He says they must find a way to embrace these parties and get them involved in the sport, but still preserve the international cricket as the pinnacle of the sport.

Mills says they will work with New Zealand Cricket to ensure that happens in this country.
