With barely two months remaining before the WBBL season kicks off, franchises are unable to finalise their squads due to an embargo triggered by the delay in signing a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Add to it, several Big Bash League players have voiced frustration at earning significantly less than overseas recruits in recent seasons, with their pay packets falling well short of global market rates offered in competitions such as the SA20 and ILT20 - a disparity attributed to the overseas draft.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got to unlock the contracting system pretty quickly. I think there\u2019s some final conversations going on at the moment, but yeah, we should have resolved it by now, so we\u2019ve got to get moving. We\u2019ve got a big season to run. We want to be as successful as we can,\u201d Greenberg was quoted as saying by Cricinfo, on the sidelines of the ongoing first Test between Australia and Bangladesh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Greenberg revealed he held talks with ACA counterpart Paul Marsh on Wednesday, but both parties remain divided. The ACA has demanded an increase in the players' current 27.5 percent revenue share from the league - a proposal CA has firmly rejected.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe\u2019re just at a fundamental difference at the moment. Australian cricket are strong believers and supporters of the revenue share model. I think it\u2019s been great for cricket. It\u2019s great for the players.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWhat we\u2019re not supportive of is increasing the amount of percentage (share) that is. And so the ACA have put forward a proposal which increases it, and we\u2019ve rejected that one. So we\u2019ve got to find a way to get an outcome that\u2019s palatable for the ACA and palatable for us,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe\u2019re just at a fundamental difference at the moment. Australian cricket are strong believers and supporters of the revenue share model. I think it\u2019s been great for cricket. It\u2019s great for the players.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cMike and I have got sessions with the boards of both New South Wales Cricket and Queensland Cricket in the next few weeks, and we want to have those conversations, and we want to have them in person before we go back to the board in September to make a final call,\u201d concluded Greenberg.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
