Job swap: Marsh quits AFLPA for second stint as cricket union boss

AFL Players Association chief Paul Marsh has resigned to return to his old job in cricket as the boss of Australian cricket’s players union.
The respective organisations made the announcement on Tuesday morning that Marsh would leave the AFLPA at the end of May, ending his 11 years at the helm.

Marsh, who entered football as an outsider having been well established in cricket circles, was a key player in multiple collective bargaining agreement negotiations.
His legacies include the joint CBA in 2023 which delivered male and female footballers a 37.1 per cent share of industry revenue, and the deal struck in 2017 which saw the introduction of a percentage share of industry revenue.
