Australia A will not tour South Africa this month after an unprecedented player boycott, sparked by a bitter pay dispute with Cricket Australia (CA).

The Australian Cricketers' Association (ACA) confirmed the tour would not go ahead, as negotiations with CA failed to make any progress.

It is the first time in history Australia's cricket players have boycotted a tour.

The ACA said it was "with great frustration" the call was made, but the decision was made "in support of more than 200 male and female players who are now unemployed".
