The player in the list with the highest salary is Joe Root. Regarded as one of the greatest players for England of the modern era, Root has been phenomenal with his bat for The Three Lions. As of June 2023, he has 46 centuries to his name in international cricket, and has amassed over 18,000 runs across formats.

England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), the governing body for England Cricket Team, pays heavily to its top-tier players. Root is in the list with the highest salary not only for England, but also across the world. He is paid a whopping salary of approximately INR 7.51 crores per year by the ECB. 

Test skipper Ben Stokes also has a similar base salary, but since he retired from white-ball cricket, Root gets the highest share of pay from the ECB.
