Everything that happens on the field of cricket is next to impossible without a stable cricket board monitoring the daily cash inflows and outflows, grassroots development, player performances and also earning funds through advertising and sponsorships. It really is the job of a cricket board to make this sport easily accessible to watch and enjoy in every remote corner.

In the last 10-15 years, we have seen a rapid growth in most boards. They are understanding the importance of how better sponsorships can acquire them more income and how that could help them build better infrastructure to assist the cricketers. Although the end product of this whole cycle is a good game of cricket, there are so many things running behind the scenes to make it look simple.

No wonder why sports management as a course has become so vibrant in these few years and is on the verge of booming more significantly. Celebrating their incredible growth over the years, here’s a look at the 10 richest cricket boards in the world.

10. New Zealand Cricket (NZC) – $9 Million

There was a time before 2014 when New Zealand Cricket wasn’t experiencing the best of times with some major sponsors bowing out because of their inconsistent performances. Yet, they have bounced back big time and managed to reach the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/top-10-cricketers-with-highest-batting-average-since-2015-world-cup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2015 ICC World Cup</a> finals. They also built a very strong team in this period, which puts them as one of the firm favourites to win it in 2019.

One of the reasons why their net worth is lesser than most is because they depend heavily on the broadcasting rights to earn revenue. It’s total net worth sums up to a total of $9 Million. Some of its major sponsors include ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited, Ford Motor Company, Accor Hotels, BLK, Burger King, Caltex, Canterbury, G.J. Gardner, Hertz, Les Mills, Powerade, Totalisator Agency Board and Tui Beer.

9. Cricket West Indies (CWI) – $15 Million

Whenever people talk about <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/new-zealand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">West Indies</a> cricket, they also talk about their glory days in the 70s and 80s. If their current team was as good as that previous one, this board would’ve been in a completely different half of this table. They have groomed some major T20 stars in the world but are struggling to find their identity in the other formats.

Just like New Zealand cricket, they too depend a lot on broadcasting rights and since the inception of their own T20 League in 2013 (Caribbean Premier League), their income has seen a major surge. The Bank of Nova Scotia, BLK, Sandals Resorts, JetBlue Airways Corporation, Blue Waters T&amp;T, and the Beltway Group are the major sponsors for Windies cricket currently.

They are beginning to lose some of their sponsors with their recent stoop and it will be interesting to see where they will be heading.

The Board of Control for Cricket in <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/india/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">India</a>, backed up the greatest fan base in the cricketing universe and also the best T20 League in the world (IPL), their net worth is almost four times more than its nearest competitor in Cricket South Africa. Such has been the dominance of this board in recent years.
A lot of credit must be given to Late Jagmohan Dalmiya, who played a crucial role in commercializing the BCCI and making it a financial powerhouse. They do not have many major sponsors, but the ones connected with them are pretty huge like&nbsp;Oppo Electronics Corporation, Paytm, Nike, Pepsi, Hyundai Motor Company, Janalakshmi Financial Services.

Everything that happens on the field of cricket is next to impossible without a stable cricket board monitoring the daily cash inflows and outflows, grassroots development, player performances and also earning funds through advertising and sponsorships. It really is the job of a cricket board to make this sport easily accessible to watch and enjoy in every remote corner.
In the last 10-15 years, we have seen a rapid growth in most boards. They are understanding the importance of how better sponsorships can acquire them more income and how that could help them build better infrastructure to assist the cricketers. Although the end product of this whole cycle is a good game of cricket, there are so many things running behind the scenes to make it look simple.
No wonder why sports management as a course has become so vibrant in these few years and is on the verge of booming more significantly. Celebrating their incredible growth over the years, here’s a look at the 10 richest cricket boards in the world.
<h3>10. New Zealand Cricket (NZC) – $9 Million</h3>
<figure id="attachment_395058" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-395058" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-395058" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/New-Zealand.jpg" alt="New Zealand" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-395058" class="wp-caption-text">New Zealand.

There was a time before 2014 when New Zealand Cricket wasn’t experiencing the best of times with some major sponsors bowing out because of their inconsistent performances. Yet, they have bounced back big time and managed to reach the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/top-10-cricketers-with-highest-batting-average-since-2015-world-cup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2015 ICC World Cup</a> finals. They also built a very strong team in this period, which puts them as one of the firm favourites to win it in 2019.
One of the reasons why their net worth is lesser than most is because they depend heavily on the broadcasting rights to earn revenue. It’s total net worth sums up to a total of $9 Million. Some of its major sponsors include ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited, Ford Motor Company, Accor Hotels, BLK, Burger King, Caltex, Canterbury, G.J. Gardner, Hertz, Les Mills, Powerade, Totalisator Agency Board and Tui Beer.
<h3>9. Cricket West Indies (CWI) – $15 Million</h3>
<figure id="attachment_387319" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-387319" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-387319" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/West-Indies.jpg" alt="West Indies" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-387319" class="wp-caption-text">West Indies. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption></figure>
Whenever people talk about <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/new-zealand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">West Indies</a> cricket, they also talk about their glory days in the 70s and 80s. If their current team was as good as that previous one, this board would’ve been in a completely different half of this table. They have groomed some major T20 stars in the world but are struggling to find their identity in the other formats.
Just like New Zealand cricket, they too depend a lot on broadcasting rights and since the inception of their own T20 League in 2013 (Caribbean Premier League), their income has seen a major surge. The Bank of Nova Scotia, BLK, Sandals Resorts, JetBlue Airways Corporation, Blue Waters T&amp;T, and the Beltway Group are the major sponsors for Windies cricket currently.
<h3>8. Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) – $20 Million</h3>
<figure id="attachment_342824" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px;"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2019/05/Sri-Lanka-ODI.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-342824" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Sri-Lanka-ODI.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" alt="Sri Lanka ODI" width="640" height="400"></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Sri Lanka ODI. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption></figure>
Just when the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/world-cup-2019-mahela-jayawardene-refuses-sri-lanka-crickets-offer-to-help-the-team/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sri Lanka Cricket</a> (SLC) was picking the pace and was capitalizing on the incredible market built by some of their legends, their cricket team lost their flair and is currently touted as the favourites to finish last. They are beginning to lose some of their sponsors with their recent stoop and it will be interesting to see where they will be heading.
They too rely heavily on the broadcasting rights for their revenues. It is also being written that they might lose more sponsors if their performance in this World Cup is too poor. Major sponsors of Sri Lanka Cricket Board include Dialog Axiata PLC, MAS Holdings, AIA Group Limited, Singer Corporation, Huawei Technologies Limited, Swizt etc.
<h3>7. Cricket Australia (CA) – $24 Million</h3>

(Photo by Shaun Botterill/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
This could come in as a shocker to see Cricket <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/australia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Australia</a>, which is one of the oldest on the globe, at this position but they have spent a lot over the years on infrastructural developments and building some new stadiums, which sees their current net worth at $24 Million. Founded in 1905, earlier they were called the Australian Board of Control for International Cricket but it later changed to Cricket Australia in 2003.
Their current net worth stands at $24 Million. They have great sponsors and some interesting projects keeping their flow of funds consistent. Their Big Bash tournament is touted as the second best in the world in terms of revenue after the IPL.
Some of their major sponsors include Domain Group, Singtel Optus Pty Limited, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, KFC, XXXX Gold, Gillette, Toyota Motor Corporation, Asics, Bupa, Milo, Bet365 Group Limited, Qantas Airways, Mastercard Incorporated, Hardys Wine, The Gatorade Company, Weet-Bix and Specsavers Optical Group Ltd.

(Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption></figure>

It is largely because of a strong cricket fan base in the country and also the broadcasting rights they have earned over the years.

They also have some very good sponsors, who appreciate the spirit their cricket stands for and their net worth currently stands at $38 Million. Its major sponsors include Castle Lager, Vega Sportswear, Coca-Cola, Sanctuary Insurance, uMax, Schweppes, ZimGold.
<h3>5. Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) – $51 Million</h3>
