London, June 27

The ongoing pay dispute between Cricket Australia (CA) and the Australian Cricketers Association (ACA) is expected to continue till July after the latter declared that it is “highly improbable” the sport’s bitter pay conflict will be resolved by June 30, the date of expiry of the MoU between two governing bodies.

Both the organisations are making very little progress in talks over how to reach a compromise on the next deal.

Players’ union president Greg Dyer said. “It is extremely likely that as of July 1 we’ll be jumping over the cliff together. Over 200 of Australia’s most senior cricketers are unemployed as of July 1. We will be assisting in whatever way we possibly can in that, but they’re unemployed. We’ll be looking for opportunities for them as we move forward but we see the urgent need to resolve this matter because that’s the reality,” he added.

Cricket Australia last week attempt to resolve the impasse failed. — ANI
