Australia to pull out of Bangladesh tour?

There is huge pressure on Cricket Australia and the Australian Cricketers Association to strike an agreement, with Australian players selected for next month’s tour of Bangladesh voting to abandon the tour in the absence of a new pay deal and federal Sports Minister Greg Hunt intervening in the dispute.
Australia captain Steve Smith and vice-captain David Warner met with ACA chief executive Alastair Nicholson in an undisclosed meeting to consider their options after a breakdown in the talks with CA last week.
The dispute has now entered nearly its fourth week with the players going out of contract – and officially unemployed – since June 30. The squad did agree to undergo a training camp in Darwin on August 10 after a vote but will not leave for Bangladesh a week later unless an agreement is reached, the report went on to add. The first Test, in the two Test series, begins 10 days later.

Former Indian bowling coach Bapu Krishnarao Venkatesh Prasad has once again expressed his desires to apply for the vacant position of coach in the Indian cricket team before the 9 July deadline.
