Staff stood down by Cricket Australia could find new jobs stacking supermarket shelves under a plan by the governing body to find alternative work for its employees wutube

Up to 80 per cent of full-time staff at the organisation, which has a workforce of about 330, have been stood down on 20 per cent pay for the final two months of the financial year. National coaches Justin Langer and Matthew Mott are among those who have had their hours reduced.Of the $20 million CA says it has saved, $3 million is coming from the standing down of staff, a move some states believe is an overreaction.

"Our people and culture team is also working with other organisations who are in the habit of placing people in organisations and industries that have a temporary need for more people," Roberts said on SEN radio station on Wednesday. There is disquiet among staff who have been blindsided by the sudden changes after believing Roberts had given a sense of confidence the game was well placed to deal with the pandemic.Roberts, however, defended his messaging at his tri-weekly online meeting, saying he had received words of support in "appreciation of our transparency and frequency of our communication".

"Certainly there was a change in tone from the start to where we are now but that was gradual. I'm comfortable we've been open with our people all along. I have to say our people have been fantastic."
