KARACHI: English cricketers have also demanded a 'price' for their data as the professional association joins the campaign for a £500 million damages case.

In England it is against the law to use any individual's data without permission, but not only betting firms but also clubs are using players' data without their permission.

Bookmakers use the knowledge of players' strengths and weaknesses to beat gamblers, while clubs use data on players' performances to estimate their value.

Former footballer manager Russell Slade has launched a campaign for players' data rights to pay bookmakers £500m in damages, signed by hundreds of players, and now including England's Professional Cricketers' Association. Joined.

Chief Operating Officer Daryl Mitchell said, "We believe this is the right time to address this issue, and it is also an opportunity for the PCA to protect the data rights of our cricketers."

Note that the data of Muslim players are also being used by bookmakers who are religiously against gambling

Slade, 62, said: "I hope the Professional Footballers' Association will soon join the campaign. People are making millions of pounds from these athletes. Companies are constantly infringing on players' data rights. Need to take back control of your data.
