ICC SAYS MEMBERS AGREEMENT OFFERS FLEXIBILITY

The International Cricket Council said its Members’ Participation Agreement (MPA) for ICC events from 2007-2015 will provide greater commercial opportunities for players.

ICC General Manager David Richardson explained that the “new MPA will be more flexible for players than previous agreements regulating participation in ICC events.”

“In drafting the player terms that fall within the MPA we have taken on board the views of players, including views expressed from India, to build a framework of agreements that will provide added benefits to players.

“Players will be faced with fewer restrictions regarding their own endorsement deals and will have greater control over the use of their own player attributes before, during and after ICC events.
