Top 10 highest paid cricket coaches at the moment

4. Chandika Hathurusingha (Sri Lanka) – $480,000 (INR 3.44 Crore)

Here is another man who is rated pretty highly around the coaching circuit in international cricket. Chandika Hathurusingha may have played just 26 Tests and 35 ODIs in the 1990s for Sri Lanka but he is one of the highly-rated coaches around the cricketing world.

After he stopped playing competitive cricket in 2005, he worked with the Sri Lanka ‘A’ side for a few years before becoming the assistant coach of the national team. However, he soon flew to Australia for a stint with the New South Wales as assistant coach. Hathurusingha also was a part of the coaching staff of the Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash for a few years.

However, in 2014, the Colombo-born was appointed as Bangladesh’s head coach. He had a wonderful time there as he led Bangladesh’s rise in international cricket. Be it Test cricket or ODIs, he played a crucial role in the development of cricket in Bangladesh. But in 2017, he was back in Sri Lanka as the head coach. Given his reputation, Hathurusingha draws a hefty annual amount of almost half a million dollars for his role as the head coach.
