I have two possible solutions to this pay issue:
1) ICC has to force each Board to use a fixed percentage of its revenue strictly on player salaries. At the moment, it's left entirely on each Board, and that's where you see a lot of discrepancies. there will still be inequality in pay, but at least a lot of players will be paid a lot more than what they are paid now.
2) Divide the calendar between international cricket and domestic T20 leagues, so that one doesn't interfere with the other. That way players don't have to consider leaving national team for money.
