Australia’s cricketers have created a “fighting fund” to help the country’s netball players amid a bitter pay dispute with Netball Australia.
Officials are still confirming the finer details of the deal, but the Australian Cricketers’ Association on Wednesday said the fund would be created for their counterparts in netball, a basketball-style professional sport played predominately by women.
That is part of the reason why players have agreed to pay out of their own pocket to assist the country’s netballers, cricketers association chief executive Todd Greenberg said“Much like our female players in 2017, the netballers at the moment are leaning on friends and family for financial support.” Greenberg said. “What is disappointing is that the netballers’ requests are modest and affordable for the sport.
“There were 10,000 watching, sponsors everywhere, the product was amazing, and there was a line for merchandise out the door,” Healy said. “Netball’s got to have money, so I refuse to believe it’s a poor sport the way I have watched it unfold. As a female athlete, watching what netball is going through makes me really said.”
Natalie Medhurst, who won three world championship titles as part of Australia’s netball team and now works in cricket as a player development manager in Perth, thanked the cricketers’ union.
