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

Cricket Australia disclosed that the two‑day Ashes Tests will cut its revenue by about $20 million. Despite posting an $82 million surplus for the 2025‑26 financial year, the board forecasts two consecutive years of losses, citing reduced fan interest and lower earnings from forthcoming overseas tours. The organization expects the financial strain to continue and anticipates further declines in broadcast and sponsorship income.
