Australia's Test squad for Bangladesh assembled in Sydney yesterday, demanding the Cricket Australia (CA) to agree to a six-point terms for next month's tour to go ahead.

Australia's players are due to convene in Darwin for a pre-tour camp on August 10, with departure for Bangladesh set for August 18 for the two-Test series. The pre-tour security visit by representatives of both CA and the ACA is going ahead as scheduled this week.

Captain Steven Smith, his deputy David Warner and all other playing members of the touring party either met in person or dialed in for an update on pay talks from the Australian Cricketers Association (ACA) chief executive Alistair Nicholson, player liaison officer Simon Katich and ACA executive member Shane Watson.

And after the two-hour meeting the cricketers have resolved to continue their fight for a "fair share" of pay and conditions.

Warner also took to social media, declaring state and international players just want to take to the field.

"Players are as frustrated as anyone else. We want to play. Offering even more to grassroots to get a deal!!! #fairshare," he said.

The players want the CA to agree to a six-point terms sheet they offered last week in a bid to finding common ground before intense negotiations over a new memorandum of understanding begin. As part of what the players say is a "peace plan", they have agreed to redirect $30 million of money they are due to receive to grassroots cricket over the next five years.

CA however says, overall, more than $200 million is needed over the next five years to bankroll what it has claimed is a chronic shortage of funds directed to junior and club cricket, sparking claims some of the money shared by the CA executive should also be redirected.

In order to avoid such a scenario, a basic agreement must be reached in the next three weeks, as mid-August would be both the latest time at which the Bangladesh tour could be cancelled and also about the same time that commercial partners -- both of CA and its host broadcasters Channel Nine and the Ten Network -- would be unable to commit to advertising, marketing and promotional campaigns for summer.

Players remain united in their bid to continue to share in the gross share of revenue they have enjoyed since 1997, which the CA wanted to change.

CA said discussions were "progressing well", but the players will not play or tour Bangladesh unless there are at least a heads of agreement is agreed upon. They were riled when CA removed the "revenue share" term in their response to the players last week.

Players are set to share in about $450 million of revenue over the next five years -- should the MOU be brokered. More than 200 cricketers have been unemployed since July 1, saving CA $2 million in wages.
