Cricket Australia achieves record revenue amid Ashes and India series

Summary

Cricket Australia reported a record revenue of A$601.1 million for the 2025-26 financial year, driven by media rights for the Ashes and a limited-overs series against India. The net surplus stood at A$81.8 million, a significant turnaround from the previous year's loss of A$11.3 million. Attendance records were broken with nearly 860,000 spectators for the Ashes. The men's team recently retained the Ashes, while the women's team claimed a seventh ICC T20 World Cup title.
