Cricket Australia reported record revenue of A$601.1 million and a net surplus of A$81.8 million for 2025-26, reversing an A$11.3 million loss the previous year. Media-rights deals and strong audiences for the men’s Ashes series against England and the white-ball series against India drove the results; the Ashes drew nearly 860,000 spectators. Despite the surplus, the governing body forecasts losses in 2026-27 and 2027-28 as media-rights and match revenues decline with the international schedule.

Nahoon Beach in South Africa’s Eastern Cape was temporarily closed after a shark sighting, with beachgoers told to stay out of the water until officials determine it is safe. The precaution follows a fatal shark attack at Orient Beach earlier in the week; the municipality has also urged swimming only when lifeguards are on duty and plans to extend lifeguard hours during peak periods.
