Players union says contract talks with CA at a dead end

Australia's cricketers' union said on Monday negotiations with Cricket Australia (CA) over distribution of games revenue had reached an impasse. Australian Cricketers' Association chief executive Tim May said talks between the ACA and Cricket Australia were at a stalemate after the CA board of directors rejected a proposal endorsed by the respective organisations CEOs.
May said talks had reached a critical stage as CA continued with efforts to dilute the players' share of the games revenues.
Under the current memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the two sides, players receive 25 percent of Australian cricket revenue, with the governing body seeking to reduce the players' share to 23 percent.
