MELBOURNE : Cricket Australia had a 6per cent increase in revenues to AUS$414.7 million in its 2020/21 accounts but posted a slight deficit due to the effects of COVID-19, the board said on Thursday.
CA reported a AUS$151,000 deficit which it said was an improvement on budgetary expectations but also a"significant adverse variation" from its four-year cycle projections. Australia hosted India over the home summer in a lucrative four-test series worth about AUS$400 million to the domestic game but cancelled a number of other internationals and faced crowd restrictions at matches due to health orders. CA, which cut dozens of staff last year, said it had saved AUS$54 million in"efficiencies" but had to spend AUS$23 million on additional COVID-related costs to keep the game safe. "We should all be proud of the way the sport rose to the challenges of COVID-19 to stage a hugely successful Indian tour last summer and ensure the Ashes can go ahead this summer," said CA Chairman Richard Freudenstein, who replaced Earl Eddings after his resignation on Wednesday.
