Cummins raised objection to Cricket Australia’s Alinta deal | danbrettig
Test captain Pat Cummins fronted Cricket Australia’s chief executive Nick Hockley with ethical objections to Alinta’s contract with the Australian team before the energy company and governing body agreed to end a deal worth almost $40 million.
In 2018, that balance included the poor reputation of the Australian men’s team in the wake of the Newlands scandal and the summary departure of financial services firm Magellan, leaving Alinta as one of few willing sponsors.When first asked to appear in advertising for the deal, some Australian players were privately less than enthused, but felt they had little choice but to participate due to the team’s poor standing at the time.
“If the last 12 months are anything to go by, it’s becoming ever more relevant, and in somewhere like Australia we’ve got no excuses. We’ve got so many resources and opportunities out there. I hope whenever we make decisions and look at what fans want, is it the right thing, is it the best thing for cricket, I hope climate is a big part of that conversation.
