Australian cricketers are "prepared to strike" if a contract dispute is not resolved, which could have an impact on the Ashes at the end of the year.

In March, Cricket Australia proposed salary increases for men and women, but this would mean players no longer receive a percentage of CA's revenue.

The offer was rejected and CA said it would not pay players after 30 June.

Ex-Australia captain Mark Taylor said the Australian Cricketers' Association "aren't negotiating at all".

In reply to Datchworth

A strike could be game changer for the game if it affects the Ashes in December.
With India's unhappiness over the ICC's new money sharing deal,cricket could see a new unwanted direction if things are not settled amicably on these Fronts.
