History
The Australian Cricketers' Association was founded in February 1997 with Tim May as its inaugural president, initially serving only first-class cricketers. In 2010, the ACA objected to an arrangement between Cricket Australia and the Board of Control for Cricket in India whereby the BCCI would pay 10% of Australian players' IPL salaries to CA. ACA chief executive Paul Marsh stated that players would oppose this by refusing to sign CA and IPL contracts.
Current administration
Christina Matthews serves as president of the Australian Cricketers' Association. Paul Marsh, previously CEO of the AFL Players Association, became CEO in 2025. Greg Dyer is chairman, and the board includes Moises Henriques, Usman Khawaja, Beth Mooney, Lisa Sthalekar, Janet Torney, Darren Tucker, and Ashton Turner. The ACA has three types of player delegates: state delegates, W/BBL delegates, and CA delegates. As of February 2026, the full list of player delegates is established.
