Australian players yet to receive their wages from IPL

The cash-rich IPL though has been flaunting huge sums since day one of its inception but when it came to paying its contracted players, it has failed to do so till now, with a number of Australian players still waiting to be get their wages for their short stints despite repeated reminders to their respective franchise owners.
Australian Cricketers Association (ACA) chief executive Paul Marsh confirmed that a number of the Aussie players were yet to receive their payments.
And although, he claimed that they were not too worried but cautioned that if there has been no breakthrough soon, the player's body might just take firm action against the IPL.
The Sun-Herald reported that one of the players, who played in the IPL, told the newspaper that he was informed thrice by the organisers that his wages were on the way.
"First, I was told it would be in two weeks. That passed by and I was told it would be in the following week. Then I was told it would be in the next few days. I just said, 'I'll believe it when I see it'," the player said.
Another Aussie recruit in the mega event accused that he has been trying to get an instalment through because he needed it to meet mortgage repayments. While a third player confirmed that he had finally been paid on Wednesday.
"It's something we're aware of. There's still a few that haven't been paid," Marsh said.
"It's certainly something we've got our eye on but it's not something that we're panicking about. We just want to get a result as soon as we can. I don't want to blow this up into something that it's not, but I also do want to sort it out as quickly as possible," he added.
Although, Marsh was confident that the problem would be resolved and if it still continues the ACA's only recourse will be through the BCCI.
"The bad PR that would eventuate if the players weren't paid would be so bad that none of the players would go back and the whole thing would fall over," he said.
"You're talking about some billion-dollar corporations so you just can't see how they wouldn't pay their players. They know they have to pay their players and that's why we're not panicking. It's something we'll go a bit harder on in the not too distant future if it doesn't get sorted out," Marsh added.
