Cricket: Katich could have sued CA

The 35-year-old was told by lawyers to consider taking CA to court but he shot down the idea.

MELBOURNE: Australia batsman Simon Katich had the option of suing Cricket Australia (CA) under age discrimination laws after being omitted from CA’s 25-man list of contracted players. The 35-year-old, who lashed out at CA and the selectors for axing him from the list, was told by lawyers to consider taking CA to court but he shot down the idea. “Katich told his management that he wanted to fight his battles on the cricket pitch and not in a court of law,” confirmed a report on Fox Sports.
