Alex Kountouris, the former Australian cricket team head physio who worked closely with players from Shane Warne to Pat Cummins, has launched unfair dismissal action against Cricket Australia.
Kountouris was let go earlier this year during a raft of cost-saving cutbacks by the sport's governing body.
He has filed wrongful dismissal proceedings with the Fair Work Commission in Melbourne.
Kountouris was a familiar face around the Australian men's team for more than a decade, becoming a member of the support staff in 2003 and then becoming head physio in 2006 when the long-serving Errol Alcott departed after 22 years to join the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
