WAGE-GAP DISPUTE
Cricketers’ Meeting (N.Z Press Assn.—Copyright) LONDON. Britain’s newly-formed cricketers' association will hold its first annual meeting in Birmingham today. The secretary, the Somerset fast bowler, F. Rumsey, said yesterday: “It will be the most important meeting we shall ever hold. It will decide whether we have a say in cricket or not.” The M.C.C. secretary, Mr S. C. Griffith, will attend the meeting, at which such topics as Sunday league cricket and cricketers’ pay will be discussed. Almost certainly the main item under discussion will the probable wage gap between home-bred county cricketers and overseas players. Mr Rumsey will deplore any plan to pay an overseas player a greater salary than a county cricketer.
