TimesLIVE reports that the SA Cricketers’ Association (Saca) will meet on Friday with the possibility of all the players going on strike high on the agenda.
Saca represents all professional men and women cricketers in the country and a strike would have devastating consequences on the incoming England tour later in December. Relations between Saca and Cricket SA (CSA) have soured over the restructuring of the domestic game‚ a matter that is now before with the South Gauteng High Court. Saca CEO Tony Irish said the deteriorating relationship between the two parties had led to the need to discuss the possibility of the players “taking some form of industrial or protest action.” Saca recently lodged a dispute with Cricket SA over unpaid commercial fees from 2018’s Mzansi Super League (MSL) and now they have sent the embattled organisation a letter to address a demand in relation to the unlawful use of player commercial rights in the ongoing MSL 2.0. CSA spokesperson Thami Mthembu confirmed that they had received the letter, were studying the contents and would “engage Saca in relation to attempting to resolve this matter.”
