Cricket Australia agrees pay deal
Print Edition
AUSTRALIA’S bruising and protracted cricket pay dispute was finally resolved yesterday with players and management agreeing on a new “in-principle” deal, ensuring upcoming series against Bangladesh, India and England can go ahead.
The players appeared to be the winners in the five-year agreement, worth an estimated Aus$500 million (US$396 million), as they retained the revenue-sharing model they had been fighting for — with women cricketers also included for the first time.
The bad-tempered standoff had been rumbling for months, rattling the game and badly straining the players’ relationship with governing body Cricket Australia.
Some 230 cricketers had been unemployed since the end of June when their contracts expired, putting this month’s test tour of Bangladesh under serious threat.
“Today’s agreement is the result of sensible compromises by both parties,” said CA chief James Sutherland, adding that the “core issues” had been worked out.
He said the five-year deal would “restore much certainty to the game of cricket”.
At the heart of the dispute had been the divisive issue of revenue-sharing.
