Internet Desk: Due to the revenue sharing dispute with Cricket Australia, the top Australian cricketers have faced unemployment and due to this problem they are looking for some endorsement deals in the big Indian market.
The players association of the Australian Cricketers (ACA) has their General Manager Tim Cruickshank to speak to the renowned Indian investors, who would want to sign Australian players for attractive endorsement deals.
“The Australian players love coming to India. They have a huge fan base in India. The players are sought after in IPL. I have come to India to speak to potential partners in Indian market. I can tell you that the response from Indian investors has been great in the meetings that I have had,” Cruickshank said.
When asked whether the senior team’s tour to India would be jeopardised, Cruickshank hoped that both parties (CA and ACA) could reach a common ground by then.
“Let me tell you that players are keen to tour both Bangladesh and India. But till the MoU is not signed on fair terms, they won’t be able to tour. Had the India tour been next week, I would have told you that it’s in serious jeopardy but since it’s in October, we should be hopeful that a common ground of solution will be reached by then,” he said.
