The players state that they have not been paid match fees for two Tests and six one-day internationals against New Zealand and India in August and September, plus salaries going back five months. They also say they are owed allowances and expenses. Mtetwa said she would only issue a summons against the board if they failed to meet the deadline.
35 players under previous contracts have said that they will not negotiate new ones until they have been paid.
