South African cricketers threaten strike ahead of England series

CAPE TOWN: The South African Cricketers' Association have threatened strike action by players weeks before England are due to arrive for a four-test tour as growing dismay at the country's governing body threatens to boil over.

"We still have to discuss the principle of it , this is a very early stage of discussion and we will be very mindful of the importance of the international fixtures. It is unlikely those will be affected," he said. Irish said any strike action will be a last resort, but added the players have been left exasperated by CSA's refusal to engage with them on a number of issues."It is an exhaustion of all other means of trying to deal with issues. Agreements are breached, we raise concerns, we try to resolve issues, and the result from the other side is just to carry on. At some stage you must decide whether you will accept that," he said.

SACA are embroiled in a court battle with CSA over plans to restructure the local game, expanding it from six domestic franchises to 12, but which could mean a reduction in earnings for players.
