Cricket Australia chairman David Peever on Thursday went on the attack over suggestions he is running an “extreme” industrial relations agenda, slamming the players’ union for “reckless” tactics in a damaging pay dispute.
Peever claimed the Australian Cricketers’ Association was threatening to drive away commercial sponsors, damage the prospects of broadcast partners and lock up player intellectual property rights into its own business ventures.
Writing an opinion piece in The Australian newspaper, he said that CA’s board had been insulted and disrespected in the ugly spat between the governing body and players.
