Cricket Australia (CA) has reported a financial setback of approximately 3 million Australian dollars (around 24 crore Bangladeshi taka) following the early conclusion of the first Ashes Test between Australia and England in Perth. The match, which ended in just two days due to a dominant performance by Travis Head, deprived organizers of ticket revenue from the third and fourth days. Despite record attendance of over 101,000 spectators across the two days, the shortened match resulted in significant losses for CA and its broadcasting partners. CA CEO Todd Green acknowledged the financial impact, noting that both the board and broadcasters would be affected. The organization had already reported an 11.3 million Australian dollar loss in the previous fiscal year, partly due to expenses from the India series. However, CA Chairman Mike Baird expressed optimism, stating that revenues have improved by over 20 million dollars this year, with expectations of higher attendance, sponsorship, and viewership in the coming season.
