How much money do cricketers make??

Hi Guys,
I am new in this forum. Do you guys know how much money do cricketers make in terms of match fees/retainer fees and sponsorships.

I know how much the BCCI (supposedly the richest) pays its players. How much do the other cricketing boards pay their players.??

I heard on the radio that the Australian players get $600,000 + PA..

Not as much as football stars, but yes, they make reasonably good money.

being the captain of a successful test side is extremely lucrative, thats all i will say for now.

Minimum contract, for players the players in cricket Australia's squad is $145 000. Pretty nice sum there...plus match payments, sponsorships etc. The better player the mroe you get aswell.

Yeah, Recently I read england and Australian make more money than others. Infatc even West Indies pays more money than the Indian Board.. I guess the other nations dont give that much money to their players...

new zealand's contracts are based on performance and whether you play tests, odi's, or both and other factors. the highest paid is about $120,000 retainer and then it goes down until the 20th contracted player who gets paid $40,000. this isn't including match fees or sponsorship.

most top international players make more from sponsorship than their contracts

Only Ricky Ponting, Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne would get that and possibily Adam Gilchrist.

I guess there is a lot more money in the game then there used to be a few years back. Its time that the game is nurtered and turned into a global entertainer. Imagine the US putting up their 11. what do you guys think??
