WCA Concerned Over Unpaid Prize Money and Intimidation from Cricket Boards
Unpaid Prize Money
The World Cricket Association (WCA) has expressed concern over the failure of some cricket boards to pay their players' prize money.
The WCA made this known in a statement on Tuesday, where the top cricket body said it is aware of several instances where players have not been paid their prize money for months, or even years.
The WCA said it is "deeply concerned" about this situation, and is urging the cricket boards in question to take immediate action to resolve the matter.
Intimidation from Cricket Boards
The WCA has also expressed concern over the intimidation of players by cricket boards.
The WCA claims to have received reports of players being threatened with violence, or other forms of intimidation, if they speak out about unpaid prize money or other issues.
The WCA said it "strongly condemns" any form of intimidation and urged cricket boards to create a safe environment for players to speak out without fear of reprisal.
Conclusion
The WCA said it will continue to monitor the situation and will take appropriate action if necessary.
