Taylor, Gilchrist predict big pay cuts for Australia players

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Former Australia captain Mark Taylor and wicket-keeping great Adam Gilchrist believe pay cuts are inevitable for the country's cricketers as the sport gears up to deal with the expected financial crisis posed by the novel coronavirus.
