Melbourne, Jun 11 (PTI) An angry and disappointed Simon Katich had the option of suing Cricket Australia under age discrimination laws after being dumped from the list of contracted players but he decided against such a move.
The 35-year-old, who lambasted Cricket Australia for axing him from the list, was told by lawyers to consider taking CA to court but he shot down the idea.
"Katich told his management to drop any thoughts of legal action, saying he wanted to fight his battles on the cricket pitch and not in a court of law," reported 'Fox Sports'.
The player's manager Robert Joske met high-profile industrial law outfit Harmers Workplace Lawyers and was advised Katich had a "strong case should he choose to go down that track".
Katich has alleged that age was the reason why he was ignored by CA despite being a prolific scorer for Australia in Tests.
