Cricket Australia and ACA remain apart on BBL pay deal

Cricket Australia chief executive Todd Greenberg says talks with the Australian Cricketers' Association over a new pay deal have not concluded. Privatisation discussions with New South Wales and Queensland are due to move forward in September. Both sides still differ on how revenue gets split and what players will be asked to do.

Greenberg said governance talks remain live but no final agreements are on the table. Multiple stakeholders need to sign off before either the pay structure or the ownership changes can be finalised. The BBL contracting process requires alignment between CA and the ACA before the next season can be fully planned.

The pay negotiations and privatisation talks are running on separate tracks but both require resolution before the league's operating model can be confirmed. Greenberg indicated that September remains the target for progress on the ownership discussions.
