The former captain of England Michael Vaughan is the latest to respond on the pay dispute between Cricket Australia (CA) and its Players. He believes that the Australian pay dispute could be the first of many to affect the international game.

Players currently take 20% of all the revenue. Cricket Australia wants to pay its players a set amount not tied to its revenue. This new model has left many of the senior players unimpressed as well as the players in the current era.


Australian vice-captain David Warner even took the route of social media to say that CA "might not have a team for the Ashes". Australia's pace spearhead Mitch Starc tweeted: "Makes for an interesting Men's and Women's Ashes"

Michael Vaughan predicts that the similar situations could arise with other cricket boards as well.

"It's great for England to see Australia falling out and fighting with each other but in terms of the game as a whole it's not a great story," said Vaughan.

"I've never seen it to this level. It's sad for the game when you're hearing this but I don't think it will be the last case of players getting together as groups. There's so much money coming through TV deals, I think players will say 'we fancy a piece of that'."

"International boards have got to put their hands in their pockets to save international cricket. In our day, International cricket was the sole moneymaker for the game but the Twenty20 leagues are catching up."
