Cricket Australia and the Australian Cricketers' Association (ACA) have launched the Most Valuable Player (MVP) programme.
The new MVP program is a cumulative points system that ranks and rewards players for every run scored, every wicket taken and every catch held in addition to how to their team performance.
The Professional Cricketers’ Association (PCA) in the UK runs a similar program and a quick glance reveals none of the English cricketers touring India barring Bopara, Samit Patel and Harmison, are in contention for the year 2008.
It appears to be a system designed to give the players slogging in the domestic tournaments a feeling of self-worth. It is so worthless that the BCCI is sure to identify its inanity and rush in with a MVP programme of its own.

Self worth with no rewards indeed... the English case is a classic. Maybe they should start a Most-valuable-buddy instead, consdering many in that squad deserves no place in the squad.
We can also have something similar---most vulnerable player, based on the no of duck dismissals.
What the Aussies and English can do, we can do better - An old BCCI saying.
Scorpi,
You have something there. English cricket is still a old boys network.
