Australia's cricketers are willing to take pay cuts if it will help keep the game afloat during the coronavirus shutdown but the country's board must be transparent about its finances, paceman Josh Hazlewood has said.
Cricket Australia said last week it planned to furlough almost 80per cent of its staff, putting them on 20per cent pay until June 30 when it is hoped more information will be available on how long government curbs to control the new coronavirus will last.Hazlewood said he was taken aback by news of the financial pressures CA was under situation, given that the Australian cricket season was all but over when the national lockdown brought sport to a halt in March.
"We’re obviously partners in the game and we’ve always said that. We’ve ridden the highs and now it’s time to ride the lows.CA has been criticised in the media following reports over the weekend that its financial reserves had been hit by a slump in global stock markets due to the pandemic. Former test players have already forecast swingeing cuts for cricketers' salaries as the sport faces an expected financial crisis.
