Aus cricketers create ‘fighting fund’ for national netball players

Officials are still confirming the finer details of the deal, but the Australian Cricketers’ Association (ACA) on Wednesday said the fund would be created for their counterparts in netball, a basketball-style professional sport played predominately by women. The netball players have been off contract since September 30. Part of the dispute involves the players’ push for a revenue-sharing model rather than a profit-share deal proposed by the eight Super Netball clubs and Netball Australia.
