Zimbabwe players strike over non-payment of dues

Zimbabwe's players have gone on strike following delays in the payment of their salaries. ESPNcricinfo has confirmed that cricketers on national and domestic contracts will not participate in the ongoing domestic season until they are paid their dues.

It was learnt that players on national contract had not received payments for the last four months, while dues to players on domestic contracts had been delayed by two months. The players decided not to participate in the forthcoming round of the Logan Cup, the domestic first-class competition, which is scheduled before the Christmas break.

Zimbabwe Cricket has been undergoing financial problems, prompting action from players. In August this year, Zimbabwe players formed a union to participate in salary negotiations, prior to the series against Pakistan. The board's financial condition also resulted in Sri Lanka's tour to the country being deferred. The domestic competitions in Zimbabwe, scheduled to begin in November, were delayed due to lack of funds but the tournaments were finally held without any sponsors.
