MELBOURNE: Cricket Australia (CA) has settled a dispute with former Test leg-spinner Stuart MacGill over more than AU$800,000 (US$635,000) salary and match payments.

The 46-year-old MacGill agreed to mediation earlier this week ahead of a trial scheduled to start on Aug 14 in Victoria State. The Australian Associated Press reported on Friday that the parties had reached an agreement, but no details were released.

MacGill was initially seeking AU$2.6 million (US$2.06 million), including AU$1.6 million (US$1.27 million) in match payments, prize money and retainers, and nearly AU$1 million (US$800,000) in interest. He later amended his statement of claim to just over AU$800,000.

MacGill played 44 Test matches for Australia and claimed 208 wickets. He played his last Test in 2008 against West Indies.
