An Australian cricketer confirmed that players have no plans of going on strike over a pay dispute. It was reported that the team might go on strike ahead of next month’s tour of England over performance-related pay issues but a senior Australian cricketer has said that there is no talk of strike at the moment. “It won’t be happening,” an unnamed senior player was quoted as saying by The Daily Telegraph. Australian Cricketers Association Chief Executive Paul Marsh also said that strike would be a last resort. “Our absolute priority and desire is to negotiate a resolution that works for both parties,” said Marsh. Meanwhile, the players will leave for England on June 14 to play six One-Day Internationals.
