Australia's pay fight endangers international game

With domestic T20 leagues gaining traction across the world, Cricket Australia’s approach to the pay dispute has added risk to the future of international cricket, according to the former ACA chief executive

Australian cricket’s custodians are “crazy” to be creating added risk for the future of international cricket at a time when the game has become a seller’s market due to the influx of domestic Twenty20 tournaments.That’s the view of the former Australian Cricketers Association chief executive Paul Marsh, who broke his silence on the union’s pay dispute with Cricket Australia after inking a new collective bargaining agreement for the AFL players’ association this week.Marsh, who left for the AFLPA in 2014 and was central to the most recent MoU signed in 2012, specifically attacked CA over its attempt to carry over money from the former deal to this one. He stated that the previous carryover only occurred due to the signing of a one-year “rollover” deal in 2011 that included a summer featuring an India tour – by far the most lucrative series Australia plays in.”We could have paid the players 26% of the money from that year, but what would have happened was a massive increase for that one year, and then a decrease for the next year and so on,” Marsh told ESPNcricinfo. “It was only done that way so the player payments were evened out rather than what would have been irresponsible and unfair to most of the players, spiking one year then going down the next.”I’m incredibly frustrated, as someone who did the last deal and helped convince the players to put $20 million of their own money [from the 2015 World Cup] back into growing the game, the players took a very responsible decision to invest back into the game. There wouldn’t be another professional sport in the world where the players took that decision, yet the very next MoU the players are told ‘we don’t want to give you this revenue percentage anymore’. I find that incredibly disrespectful and unprofessional in my view.”For CA to use money from this MoU that the players have earned – despite the fact they’ve given $20 million back – and then try to say, ‘we’re going to take more money out of what we have to pay you and put it into the next deal’, it’s just contemptible from where I sit.”‘CA’s approach here is purely and simply trying to bully the players into an outcome that CA want’ – Paul Marsh•Australian Cricketers’ Association

Given how the cricket landscape has changed due to T20 tournaments, the most recent South African event that will clash with the Australian domestic seasons, Marsh was mystified as to why CA would choose to fight an industrial relations battle when many other nations look enviously at its 20 years of smooth and loyal player relationships.”I think it’s crazy,” Marsh said. “For the services of players, cricket is now a seller’s market. The players can choose where to go, and that’s a reality the AFL doesn’t have, players can’t pick up their trade and go somewhere else. But the cricketers can, and for the majority of countries now they can make a lot more money doing that than playing international cricket. I think international cricket is at risk of falling over if the big countries have a period for whatever reason where they don’t play international cricket.”Having worked through an exhaustive negotiation with the AFL that for the first time links the payment of players to the game’s revenue – 28% of projected AFL revenue, 28% of AFL revenue above forecast and 11.2% of club revenue – Marsh took a dim view of how CA had approached its dealings with the ACA, in particular withholding financial information. He said that the board had previously given detailed financial forecasts to the players association, and that the AFL had done likewise to help reach their own deal.”No players’ association can responsibly represent its members if you don’t understand what the financial forecasts look like,” Marsh said. “Historically CA – and the last MoU in 2012 was the best – gave us incredibly detailed and rigorous financial forecasts for their business, for the state associations and for the BBL teams. The reality of it is that your forecasts will end up being different to your actual results, almost by definition it is impossible to look five or six years into the future and get that absolutely right.”But in CA’s case they have to be accountable to something, and that’s why the percentage model is so important. If the actual revenues of the industry end up being different to what the forecasts are, then you’ve got something you can tie the players’ payments to. A share of revenue could be more or less than what it has been, that’s all part of the discussion, as is what goes in and what goes out, but it’s about tying what the players get to the actual revenues of the game rather than what the forecasts are. There’s no accountability for CA if they don’t.”Addressing CA’s contention that the revenue sharing model made it impossible to invest in new projects to grow the game, Marsh cited how the new AFL deal meant that players would not have any access to AFL revenue derived from a stadium the league is still paying for, as an example of the flexibility that should exist between two parties communicating effectively.Marsh predicted the dispute would reach a crucible around the ODI tour of India in September and October, a commitment that he doubted CA would risk given the financial reliance of all nations on the BCCI’s revenues. But he reasoned that even in the event of a deal being struck, trust between the players and the board had now been majorly damaged.”Cast your mind forward to a deal being done,” he said. “CA’s approach here is purely and simply trying to bully the players into an outcome that CA want, ‘we won’t give you the financial information, we won’t give you this model, here’s our deal, take it or leave it’, that’s been the approach to this point. How can it possibly be seen as a ‘win-win’ here.”I can’t see how, and from a human behaviour perspective you just ask who’s going to agree to that then, how will the players say ‘we’re happy with that deal’ and the same for CA. It’s now a win-lose scenario and in my experience, if you’re going to have a relationship with someone, win-lose just doesn’t work.”Cricket’s not going that well that it can afford to throw itself open to this. As much as CA will claim it is Australia’s favourite sport and all that, now I’ve been removed a bit, it doesn’t get the column inches that other sports get, it isn’t necessarily in the consciousness of the Australian public like it used to be, and I just think it is a very dangerous game to play.”

The BCCI will award INR 15 lakh each to the members of the men’s and women’s senior selection committees for having selected “good teams”. The decision was communicated at the end of the meeting between the board’s office bearers and the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) in Delhi on Wednesday.”They have been rewarded for selecting good teams,” CoA member Diana Edulji told reporters.The men’s selection committee, headed by MSK Prasad and comprising Sarandeep Singh and Devang Gandhi, has overseen a fruitful period for India since its appointment in September last year. During the last 12 months, India registered Test series wins in West Indies and at home over New Zealand, England, Bangladesh and Australia, before sealing the ongoing series in Sri Lanka 2-0. India also had a good run in limited-overs cricket, winning home series against New Zealand and England, and being runners-up at the Champions Trophy in June.The Hemalata Kala-led women’s panel, which includes Lopamudra Banerjee and Shashi Gupta, has also enjoyed much success over the last year. Mithali Raj’s team won the Asia Cup and the Quadrangular tournament featuring South Africa, Ireland and Zimbabwe, before making the final of the World Cup in June.In other developments, the question of India’s participation in the Olympics, Edulji said, would be decided by the BCCI’s general body. The other point of discussion was the revision of domestic players’ wages for which Edulji said BCCI treasurer Anirudh Chaudhary was entrusted with firming up the modalities of the revised arrangement. The matter would be taken up during the CoA’s next meeting on August 23 in Mumbai. On the subject of payment of former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin’s pending dues, Edulji said it had been referred to the board’s general body. She also said that the legal team was studying Sreesanth’s case after the Kerala High Court overturned his life ban imposed by the BCCI.

لاوتارو مارتينيز باكيًا بعد تحقيق لقب الدوري الإيطالي: إنتر ميلان يريد المزيد

أكد لاوتارو مارتينيز، قائد فريق إنتر ميلان، أنهم يتطلعون إلى تحقيق المزيد من الألقاب، وذلك بعدما حسموا بطولة الدوري الإيطالي مساء اليوم.

وفاز إنتر ميلان على جاره ميلان، في ديربي الغضب في الجولة الثالثة والثلاثين من السيري آ، بهدفين مقابل هدف (لمطالعة التفاصيل من هنا).

وتوج إنتر ميلان، بعد ذلك الفوز، بلقب الدوري الإيطالي موسم 2023/24 للمرة العشرين في تاريخه.

وظهر لاوتارو مارتينيز، خلال الإدلاء بتصريحاته بعد المباراة، في وضع تأثر حيث كان يبكي من شدة فرحه.

وقال لاوتارو: “الآن، أشعر برغبة في البكاء لأننا عملنا بجد وعانينا كثيرًا، وكنا نستحق هذه الفرحة، أهديها لعائلتي في الأرجنتين، ولأطفالي، وزملائي في الفريق وجميع المشجعين”.

Everton: Dyche Could Bin Maupay After Enquiry For 20 y/o "Shining Light"

Everton are considering a swoop for Sheffield United's rising star Daniel Jebbison, with manager Sean Dyche seeking to bolster his attacking ranks and chart a course up the Premier League table this season.

Who are Everton going to sign this summer?

While the Toffees endured a quiet start to the transfer window, astute purchases for Ashley Young on a free transfer and Arnaut Danjuma on loan have set the ball in motion, and Jebbison could be next.

According to the Liverpool Echo, the 20-year-old striker has been the subject of an enquiry from the Merseyside outfit already this summer, with Everton looking to act upon their long-standing interest in the Blades ace.

While Jebbison would not be considered the talismanic saviour to pump life back into the Everton attack instantaneously, he could be the perfect utility option and one to grow into a first-rate star at the club over the coming years.

Who is Daniel Jebbison?

Scoring twice from 19 matches last term, also registering one assist, Jebbison played a peripheral role in a triumphant campaign for the Blades, who completed their return to the Premier League after a second-place finish.

He has actually already once plied his trade in the English top-flight, making his debut against Everton in May 2021 and being hailed as his side's "shining light" by Sky Sports pundit Micah Richards as his side ignominiously crashed out of the division.

He has already completed a loan transfer away from Bramall Lane and caught the eye on loan at Burton Albion in 2021/22, where he scored seven goals from just 14 starts in League One and averaged 1.9 shots per game.

While this exciting talent cannot be expected to lead the Evertonian line at such a rudimentary stage in his career, he could hardly do much worse than Neal Maupay, and Dyche must seriously consider ousting the Frenchman for someone of Jebbison's ilk, who can grow into his skin and absorb the fruits of a starring talisman, such as Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Maupay arrived from Brighton & Hove Albion one year ago on a £15m deal after plundering 24 Premier League goals across three seasons, but to say he flattered to deceive on Merseyside would be an understatement.

Once branded "embarrassing" by Alan Shearer, the 26-year-old scored just one goal from 27 top-flight showings last term, exacerbating the club's issues in front of goal that so nearly cost them their place among England's elite.

The £50k-per-week attacker was also called "woeful" by journalist Paul Brown, who criticised his "disaster" of a transfer, leaving question marks surrounding his future under Dyche's wing.

While his past exploits on English shores are evidence that he can find the back of the net with some sort of regularity, the magnitude of the task in preserving Premier League status once again and, crucially, navigating away from the danger area after successive relegation-battling terms, underlines the importance that the club get it right.

And while Jebbison will not produce numbers to rival the likes of Erling Haaland, Harry Kane and Mohamed Salah at the forefront of the league's offensive stars, he may just be a budding sensation, and with Everton yearning for a new figurehead to send them into rapture, the Sheffield United striker could just be the man to mould into a first-rate phenom.

Despite having stepped down from his role as Sri Lanka selector just weeks ago, cricket manager Asanka Gurusinha has been reappointed to the position, along with three new selectors.Graeme Labrooy, the former Sri Lanka seamer, had already been confirmed as the head of the committee on Friday.

Sunderland Keeping Tabs On "Excellent" £6m Dynamo – Report

Sunderland are keen to strike a deal to bring Universidad Catolica forward Alexander Aravena to the Championship, according to reports.

Who is Alexander Aravena?

Aravena is naturally a left-sided winger who has plied his trade with Cristian Paulucci’s side ever since his childhood days, having graduated from the club’s academy to make a total of 27 appearances so far, and despite having briefly left to join Nublense, he’s now returned for a second spell.

However, the 20-year-old’s contract is set to run out at the end of the calendar year meaning that the ongoing window will be the Primera Division outfit’s final chance to cash in should they not want to risk losing their prized asset for free upon the expiration of his deal.

The Black Cats and Tony Mowbray are likely to be searching the market for attacking reinforcements with Amad Diallo having returned to Manchester United following his successful loan, not to mention the uncertainty surrounding the future of Ross Stewart, and if the following update is to be believed, the Chile international has been flagged as an ideal candidate.

Are Sunderland signing Alexander Aravena?

According to Spanish outlet Minutod, Sunderland are "extremely interested" in signing Aravena this summer. The Stadium of Light side "would have arrived with a very good proposal" that would meet his club's expectations, but confirmation that an official bid has been submitted is yet to have been given.

Universidad Catolica chiefs are believed to have set a "minimum" price tag of €8m (£6m) for their attacker as a result of the northeast outfit "closely" keeping tabs on him, but they aren't the only admirers as he is also gaining "interest" from several unnamed clubs across Europe.

Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray.

How many goals has Alexander Aravena scored?

In the Primera Division this season, Aravena has racked up an impressive 12 goal contributions (nine goals and three assists) in 19 appearances so he’s extremely prolific, and should he put pen to paper on a move to Sunderland, he would be an “excellent” addition for Mowbray according to journalist and Black Cats fan Josh Bunting.

The Huechuraba native has also so far recorded a total of 44 shots over the course of the campaign which is the second-highest number throughout his squad, via FBRef, highlighting his constant desire to find the back of the net, or at the very least try his best to test the opposition’s goalkeeper.

Furthermore, the youngster is a versatile operator having been deployed in seven various positions since the start of his career, including everywhere across the frontline and even four roles in the midfield, so he would be a great option for the boss to have at his disposal should any unexpected injuries occur.

The Black Cats have already completed the signing of centre-forward Eliezer Mayenda from FC Sochaux-Montbeliard but that clearly hasn't stopped the hierarchy from assessing what other targets are out there to bolster their ranks in the final third, and if an offer gets tabled in the final stages of the window, Aravena could be following in the former's footsteps by making the move to the Championship.

أرتيتا يوضح حقيقة رغبة آرسنال في التخلص من جيسوس

أوضح ميكيل أرتيتا، المدير الفني لفريق آرسنال، حقيقة تطلع النادي إلى التخلي عن خدمات جابرييل جيسوس، في موسم الانتقالات الصيفي المقبل.

كان جيسوس قد انضم إلى آرسنال قادمًا من مانشستر سيتي، في صيف 2022، مقابل 45 مليون جنيه إسترليني.

ولكن مشوار البرازيلي مع آرسنال قد تأثر بكثرة إصاباته، حيث لم يشارك مع الفريق إلا في 24 مباراة فقط في الدوري الإنجليزي.

وسجل جيسوس 4 أهداف فقط بقميص آرسنال حتى الآن، ما أدى إلى انتشار التكهنات حول مستقبله خاصة مع وجود تقارير تشير إلى أن النادي يبحث عن مهاجم جديد.

وأفادت تقارير صحفية مؤخرًا أن إدارة آرسنال مستعدة للاستماع إلى العروض الراغبة في ضم جيسوس، نهاية الموسم الحالي.

وظهر أرتيتا في مؤتمر صحفي اليوم للحديث عن مباراة الغد بين آرسنال وبورنموث، في الجولة الخامسة والثلاثين من الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

وعندما سُئل عما إذا كانت التقارير المتعلقة باستعداد النادي لبيع جيسوس صحيحة، هز أرتيتا رأسه وأجاب بحزم: “لا أعرف من أين يأتي هذا!”.

وعند سؤاله أكثر عما إذا كان لديه أي نية للسماح لـ جيسوس بالرحيل هذا الصيف، قال أرتيتا: “لا، لا”، وذلك في تصريحاته التي نشرتها صحيفة “مترو” الإنجليزية.

Manchester United Open To Selling "Perfect" £250k-p/w Player

Manchester United are open to selling Anthony Martial this summer, and a new report has revealed which club are currently in pole position to secure his services.

When did Anthony Martial join Man United?

The Frenchman first arrived in the Premier League and indeed Old Trafford from AS Monaco back in 2015, and he’s since gone to clock up a total of 298 appearances during his eight years at the club, but last season didn’t pan out as he would have hoped.

The Red Devils centre-forward made just 11 starts in the top-flight during the previous campaign, primarily as a result of sustaining several separate injuries which kept him out of action for 17 matches, so due to not being available on a regular basis, he was only a bit-part player under Erik ten Hag.

Therefore, with the 27-year-old’s contract expiring in less than a year, the ongoing transfer window will be the club’s final big opportunity to cash in should they not want to risk losing their prized asset for free, and if the following update is to be believed, it sounds like that is exactly what the hierarchy are aiming to do.

Is Anthony Martial leaving Man United?

According to CaughtOffside, Man United will “allow” Martial to leave before September 1. The M16 outfit’s attacker has reportedly failed to “convince” Ten Hag that he is “worthy” of a place in the starting squad and has been viewed as nothing more than a fringe player ever since the departure of former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Red Devils signing Rasmus Hojlund has made the striker’s future “even more uncertain” and he will therefore be given the green-light to find a “new challenge” if a suitable offer arrives.

Inter Milan are, as it stands, the only club “considering making an approach”, and whilst his salary is something that they “will not be able to match”, it’s stated that they have “requested to remain informed” on his situation in the closing weeks of the window.

Manchester United forward Anthony Martial.

How many goals has Anthony Martial scored?

Whilst Man United will be frustrated by Martial’s lack of availability last season, the fact that he still managed to rack up 12 goal contributions (nine goals and three assists) in 29 appearances across all competitions shows what he’s capable of, so getting rid of him this summer would be a mistake.

Sponsored by Nike, Ten Hag’s £250k-per-week earner also ranked in the 92nd percentile for pass completion, highlighting how strong his link-up play is with his fellow attacking teammates in and around the opposition's penalty area, making him a constant handful to deal with.

Martial, who is the “perfect” profile of player to fit the boss’ style of football, according to journalist Josh Bunting, can not only operate everywhere across the frontline but he additionally knows what it takes to be successful having helped secure five trophies during his time at the club, so keeping him in the building is vitally important to maintain that winning mentality.
