Though other players like Hussey share his dilemma, Kartik situation is different as he is playing for Middlesex in India in what is essentially an Indian (read BCCI) tournament.
As Murali Kartik himself says, a professional cricketer should be beyond emotions and play for his employer wholeheartedly. However, Kartik himself will agree that there will be a degree of unease when he plays against one of the Indian IPL franchisees.
Surely, this ‘potential conflict of interest’ will be one of the highlights of the Twenty20 Champions League.

Add Moody who next year can perhaps coach 2 teams in the CL (after all Kings XI made it to the IPL semis).
If CL continues in this path, there will more conflicts to resolve down the road.
I will suggest a new concept, let them play for all teams they represent at the same time :)
RS,
"let them play for all teams they represent at the same time" does not make business sense - after all some teams prefer compensation.:)
Better that way.He may not play in the Indian team.There he stands better chance of being in the playing eleven.
R,
Sadly what you say is true. I do not believe he will ever play India again.
At least there is something for him. He has been completely overlooked.
Scorpi,
The same feat awaits Badrinath. Wonder why TN players fail to capitalise on their opportunities.
