Ashes 2025-26
Cricket Australia are facing major financial losses after the Perth Ashes Test ended inside just two days.
A two-day Test means fewer broadcast hours, lower ticket sales and reduced commercial value, leading to a significant loss.
According to reports, CA are expected to lose around ₹17.50 crore because the match finished far earlier than planned.
The Ashes draws massive viewership and packed stadiums, making any premature finish a major financial setback.
With over 40,000 England supporters arriving for the series, a short Test means reduced spending opportunities for stakeholders.
CA will hope the remaining four Tests last longer to recover revenue, especially with such a high-profile series at stake.
