Sports: Former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has criticized ICA

April 7th: Former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has criticized India Cricketers' Association (ICA) President Ashok Malhotra for saying that Indian cricketers will have to take pay cuts due to sporting events being suspended across the globe amid the coronavirus outbreak. In a column for Mid-Day, Gavaskar wrote: 

"Like with any sport, if you don't play, you don't get paid and that's what will happen. What was amusing though was to read that the president of the Indian Cricketers' Association has said there should be pay cuts for the India internationals and the first-class players too. 

"One can understand him trying to apple-polish with the BCCI but with whose authority is he talking about the cuts is the question. The current India internationals and the first-class players are not members of the players' body so he can't be speaking on their behalf. It's easy to talk about pay cuts if it doesn't hurt your own pocket."
