The second edition of the flagship T20 tourney featured sides from all three countries ufffd whose administrators run the event ufffd as well as the champions of New Zealand, Sri Lanka and the West Indies.
May, the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations chief executive, said: "We are increasingly frustrated and disappointed that the prize money still has not been paid by the organisers to teams and players.
The former Australia spinner said his latest communications with CL T20 organisers indicated the payments could be made in early February, but he remains dissatisfied with the delay.
"Players are like anyone else in the community, they have financial commitments and families to provide for, and they expect to be paid in a timely manner," he said. "It's simply unacceptable that three of the most financially affluent cricket boards in the world can seemingly sit on their hands for four months with no apparent sense of obligation to pay this prize money in a timely manner."
