I don't think he is going to be paid his full contract money. The players are played based on their availability and the number of matches they played. The 1.5 million is spread over 14+semis+finals and his participation in only 3 games earns him 1.5million/3 i.e about 0.3 million dollars. That still is a lot of money for the amount of contribution he has made to CSK.

He will now miss England's series against West Indies © AFP Andrew Flintoff has returned home from the Indian Premier League to undergo surgery on a torn meniscus in his right knee. Flintoff had been appearing for Chennai Super KIngs in the IPL when he felt discomfort in his right knee. The Chennai medical staff immediately contacted ECB's chief medical officer Dr Nick Peirce Scans were taken of the right knee in a Durban hospital and they detected a slight medial meniscal tear and after these were viewed by Peirce it was decided that Flintoff should return to London. He will undergo an operation early next week and surgeons are confident that he should recover from the keyhole surgery within three to five weeks. "Clearly this is a huge disappointment for both the player and the IPL team," Peirce said. "This sort of degenerative injury though is one that could have happened at any time any where. The procedures we put in place meant that the ECB medical staff were alerted about the problem immediately and we thank Chennai for their co operation." Hugh Morris, the ECB's managing director of cricket, added: "Andrew has been extremely unlucky with injuries but if there is one saving grace it is that the injury has occurred now rather than on the eve of either the ICC World Twenty20 or the Ashes. "Having the surgery now means that Flintoff should be available for both those events although he is certain to miss the Test series against the West Indies.
Crapp ... He was the main reason I was supporting CSK
