ACA demands 27.5 per cent share of BBL privatisation proceeds for players
The BBL sale process has been delayed by the revenue-sharing dispute.
Australian Cricketers' Association chief Greg Marsh said players are entitled to 27.12 per cent of any proceeds from the sale of BBL teams to private investors. The ACA is willing to forgo that share in exchange for a higher ongoing revenue split of 27.5 per cent. Cricket Australia has rejected the model, arguing privatisation revenue differs from standard earnings. Talks remain ongoing with arbitration still possible.
CricHubb Take
The ACA's position is simple. They will trade a one-time windfall for a permanent increase in the revenue split. Cricket Australia sees it as two different revenue streams. Someone will have to blink.
