Cricket Australia takes $20m revenue hit from two-day Ashes Tests with more losses ahead

Cricket Australia has disclosed a significant financial setback, revealing that a pair of abbreviated Ashes matches resulted in a $20 million revenue shortfall. Despite this loss, the organization managed to secure an $82 million surplus for the 2025-26 period, bolstered by robust commercial activity and broadcast interest surrounding the men's Ashes series.

Looking forward, the governing body anticipates a period of financial strain, projecting deficits over the next two years as public engagement for upcoming tours appears to be waning.
