Former England captain Michael Vaughan was visibly delighted after coming across the news that the long standing pay dispute between Cricket Australia and Australia Cricketer’s Association has been resolved.
Vaughan tweeted: “Absolutely delighted the Aussie Pay dispute has been sorted … England now know they can win another Ashes this winter…!!!!!”

His tweet was obviously a friendly jibe at the Australian Cricket Team which reflected that the England side would now eventually get a chance to beat the Aussies in their own backyard and retain the Ashes.
The joke was in good humour and his followers also joined in for a friendly bashing of the outspoken cricket expert and commentator.
You earned Mitchell Starc's laugh

Pay Dispute resolved
Cricket Australia (CA) and the Australian Cricketers’ Association have reached settlement after months of negotiations. The grand news now means that the Australia cricket team will now embark on the scheduled tour of Bangladesh later this month.
The issue had turned obsolete after both the involved party failed to derive an conclusion and reach a a settlement. CA demanded scrapping of the revenue sharing model to divert more funds into grassroot cricket. However, the reviking of the revenue model would have meant that the dometic names could have ended up with less salaries. Thsi became the main argument.
Things reached a new level after the Australian cricketers were technically left unemployed after the existing Memorandum of Understanding expired on August 1.
Despite the difficulties, the cricketers stood their ground and supported the ACA which has now evenrually led to the fulfillment of their demands.
CA CEO James Sutherland said the parties had reached an in-principle agreement on “the core issues” of the deal. IN a significant move, the revenue sharing model, which was the matter of dispute, will remain in act.
