Former Australian pacer Glenn McGrath feels it is a shame how the pay dispute involving Australian cricketers has dragged on and hoped for a quick resolution to the long-running issue. According to reports, Australia’s senior players have voted to boycott next month’s tour of Bangladesh unless their long-running pay dispute with Cricket Australia (CA) is settled before they leave. We have got a tour of Bangladesh and a ODI tour series (in India). The players are entering their fourth week of unemployment since the failure to reach a new agreement on pay at the end of June. The dispute is over CA’s refusal to renew a revenue- sharing arrangement which has been part of all deals over the past two decades.
