ACA calls for ‘emergency mediation’ as the June 30th deadline looms.

The Australian players’ association has called for ‘emergency mediation’ today with Cricket Australia chief James Sutherland to mediate the pay talks before the deadline.

CA has threatened not to pay contracted players beyond the expiry of their current financial deal at the end of this month if they do not accept a new offer.

ACA President said,

“

With only seven days until the June 30 deadline, the ACA calls for emergency mediation to be conducted at CEO level, with this the ACA continues to search for ways to resolve the dispute. We are motivated by a sense of duty to the game and its players and frustration at the current process.

”

The ACA said it had been instructed by Australia’s male and female cricketers to seek 'emergency mediation' to ensure every avenue is explored to avoid the post-June 30 cliff.
