Cricket Insights with Paul Ryan - Big Bash Privatisation: Some Questions Worth Asking

Revenue vs Losses

Recent broadcast deal reportedly worth around $1.5 billion over seven years.
Annual revenue in the vicinity of $450 million.
Reported accumulated losses of $50 million plus in recent seasons.
Question: If revenue is strong, is asset sale the only solution, or should cost structures be examined first?

With Nick Hockley stepping down as CEO of Cricket Australia in March 2025, I believe the appointment of his successor is one of the most pivotal moments in Australian cricket history.

In your view, what qualities and skills should the Cricket Australia board prioritize when selecting the next CEO? Additionally, what do you think should be the key priorities for the new CEO to focus on during their first 12 months in the role?

PLAI is for grassroots cricket!
Para Hills Cricket Club building their future.

Established in 1964, the Para Hills Cricket Club is a family friendly community situated in the northern suburbs of Adelaide. It is the largest club within the City of Salisbury and fields several junior teams, along with several men’s and women’s teams. They also have a team heavily involved in the Inclusive League. The club is affiliated with the North Eastern Junior Cricket Association and the Adelaide Turf Cricket Association.

In 2023 it was honoured with the SACA community club of the Year Award. They achieved this recognition through its commitment to making cricket accessible to everyone. They are known for inclusivity and embracing diversity within their club. They celebrate everyone that is part of the club. This is whether they are volunteers, or they are a part of the playing group. This is a major part of why Para Hills Cricket Club is a vibrant club which others look up to within their association.

PLAI - Giving back to Cricket Clubs

For the next couple of months, I've been authorised to put AU $300 back into the club should you feel now is the right time to consider a partnership with PLAI.

As a quick revisit... PLAI is subscription free, enabling you to simplify your day to day running of the club by consolidating all key functions into one place. This includes the management of player availability, team selections, player communications, collecting of fees and so much more.

Growing up and playing country cricket in regional Victoria I understood the importance of building communities and having kids and parents be involved at the club level. As a community coach and volunteer in more recent years, I also recognise that clubs need to grow & generate new revenue to keep up with the rising costs.

The Foundation of Goodness was established in 1999 and has worked extensively to develop a one of a kind holistic rural community development model over the past 25 years, completing humanitarian initiatives to the value of USD 24 million. In 2023 alone, despite struggles brought on by the Sri Lankan Economic Crisis, the Foundation of Goodness was able to deliver a wide range of programmes to over 135,000 beneficiaries from 854 villages across Sri Lanka, free of charge, via our 10 empowerment divisions: Business Skills and Enterprise, Women’s Empowerment, Special Needs, Language and Arts, Sports Development, Medical, Dental and Psychosocial Support, Children and Youth Development, Environment and Water, Rural Welfare & Development and Village Heartbeat Empowerment Centres. The Foundation of Goodness also provides opportunities for volunteerism and has established its own Sustainable Income Generation avenues.

In addition to its flagship venue and project headquarters, the OYOB Centre of Excellence and Sports Academy in Seenigama, the Foundation of Goodness has also branched out to offer its key courses and resources to distant rural villages via Village Heartbeat Empowerment Centres. These centres strive to empower disadvantaged communities so that they may have equal opportunities to excel in life. As the nerve centre of the village, the Village Heartbeat concept works to give underprivileged villagers access to skills that will enable them to develop to their full potential and offer courses in areas such as IT, children’s educational classes, women’s empowerment, life values and life skills development.

The Foundation of Goodness has already established 19 Village Heartbeat Empowerment Centres across the island; Ahangama (Galle District), Jayanthipura (Polonnaruwa District), China Bay (Trincomalee District), Mahiyangana (Badulla District), Maskeliya (Nuwara Eliya District), Ragala (Nuwara Eliya District), Kothmalae (Nuwara Eliya District) , Hatton (Nuwara Eliya District), Mathagal (Jaffna District), Pallai (Kilinochchi District), Oddusuddan (Mullaitivu District), Puthiyanagar (Mullaitivu District), Eravur (Batticaloa District), Thirukkovil (Ampara District), Dambulla (Matale District), Bandarawela (Badulla District, Central Region), Hingurukaduwa (Monaragala District), Udumulla (Galle Districtand Rathgama (Galle District) with plans currently underway to construct more Centres.

We came across this interesting and thought-provoking post on Facebook from Shedders Cricket Academy. Yes even something as supposedly simple as making your bed, gets you into the right mindset to tackle the rest of the day.

This applies to all sports including, of course cricket! where a discplined and focussed mindset helps to get the day off in the right manner.

At Howzattt Cricket we believe cricket is an excellent sport for achieving this, and we hope that you agree!
