The CEO of a fledgling Twenty20 cricket league for retired greats in the UAE on Friday promised its players will receive their final wages that were due more than two months ago and vowed the competition would return next year. The Masters Champions League (MCL), which boasted West Indies batsmen Brian Lara and Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan among its ranks, staged its maiden season in Dubai and Sharjah from Jan. 28-Feb. 13. The MCL sold six franchises for a combined $90 million, with each team named after an astrological sign. This sextet pledged about $5.5 million in player wages, but only one team - Gemini Arabians - has paid its players in full, MCL chief executive Zarah Shah told Reuters. The other teams' players are owed their final wage packet, which was due 30 days after the tournament finished, said Shah. Clubs receive a share of gate money, central sponsorship revenues and broadcast income, plus prize money, and are responsible for players' salaries.
