The governing International Cricket Council (ICC) is in talks with several boards which have yet to pay prize money from this year’s Twenty20 World Cup to the players, sources told Reuters on Thursday.
India beat South Africa in the final to win the tournament, which was co-hosted by the US and West Indies in June.
The World Cricketers’ Association (WCA) said in a statement on Wednesday that some cases of non-payment of the prize money have been paired with “threatening and intimidatory behaviour” by national governing bodies to player groups.
A source told Reuters that the ICC has taken up the issue with five boards of the 20 participating countries to ensure players were paid in a timely manner.
