‘Players are not receiving a fair share’ of money made by ICCUnion unhappy with use in fantasy
Cricket games and filmsThe international cricket players’ union has begun legal proceedings against the International Cricket Council in a row over image rights, claiming that they do not receive a “fair share”.
The Federation of International Cricketers’ Associations (Fica), which represents the majority of players from the Test nations aside from
India and
Pakistan, has been in discussions with the game’s governing body for several months over the issue but failed to make a breakthrough. As reported by
ESPN in October, players were upset after noticing how commercial rights sponsors were using their images in ways they believed were outside their contracts, with Fica having filed their case last week.
