The Australian cricket<\/a> team may not have a sponsorship deal for their playing shirts until the eve of the first Test of summer, after the expiry of a much-discussed $40 million deal with Alinta earlier this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Several members of the team have\ufeff already shot commercials without a sponsor on the shirt, but it's understood Cricket Australia<\/a> has no plans to play the summer without a commercial partner on their playing uniform.<\/p>\n

Men's captain Pat Cummins had raised ethical issues about the Alinta deal, saying the energy provider was a major carbon emitter earlier this year. Australian Cricketers Association board director Usman Khawaja said at the time players have a right to say which sponsors were chosen to be worn on the team shirt.<\/p>\n

"We have a responsibility to the whole of cricket, whether that be drugs, alcohol, whatever it may be, we have a responsibility to the public of vetting sponsorships," he said.<\/p>\n

"I believe CA do already do that in some way, and there is an avenue where the ACA can be involved with them a little more strategically. I think the world is changing, not saying it's changing in a specific direction, but inclusivity is a big part of it.<\/p>\n
