David Hussey sued by agent over non-payment of IPL dues

Sydney, May 15(ANI): Australian batsman David Hussey's former agent, Essentially Sports Management Australia (ESMA), is suing him for than 300,000 dollars for non-payment of outstanding dues.

ESMA claims Hussey didn't pay percentages of his contracts with Cricket Australia, Cricket Victoria, bat manufacturer Gray Nicholls and Indian Premier League (IPL) team King's XI Punjab as agency fees from 2008 to 2012, The Herald Sun reports.
