As is rightly said by earlier participants that the person who has more power to negotiate due to any situation be it market conditions or union can turn the deal towards him. But in real sense negotiations can be successful only if both the parties agree to a particular thing mutually.Eg. If ICC is successful in making the players sign the deal by coercing then it can be reflected in their performance. If player does not feel empowered enough he cannot perform well. Here in this case when we talk about IPR, I guess players have full right on their personal commercial rights. Only playing for their country is included in their working hours and rest all time is their own. Moreover in this case they are already in contract with respective companies and if they sign this contract they will be breaching one of the contracts and can be sued for it.
If I take an example of Infosys, there you have to contribute two ideas about any technology in Kshop (knowledge shop) and that is linked with your performance appraisal. In the starting of the project your manager would tell you about his expectations which would include these documents as well. So, company can definitely claim rights on such things. In the case open source development you can bargain with employer if they want to use your ideas but in this case you cant. Your company can definitely use that knowledge in any way desired without even taking your permission. They might not even consider patting your back. So, as was the case i think a company cannot claim on your work if you have not utilized company's resources and signed any such contract.
