Renshaw's Career Resurgence Earns Six-Figure Cricket Deal
16 Feb
Summary
- Matt Renshaw's international revival could net him a six-figure contract.
- The Cricket Australia contract system rewards players with a minimum of $353,000.
- Players earn a minimum of $148,000 windfall upon meeting contract triggers.
Matt Renshaw's remarkable revival in international white-ball cricket is set to reward him with a significant six-figure contract. Having met Cricket Australia's contract trigger points through recent performances, Renshaw is now among several players on the verge of securing a lucrative deal.
This points system, based on international appearances, values Test matches at five points and white-ball games at two. Players reaching the 12-point threshold can expect a substantial financial boost. Cricket Australia contracts begin at $353,000, bridging the gap between domestic earnings which max out at $205,000.
Consequently, players like Renshaw, alongside others such as Mitch Owen and Cooper Connolly, are positioned for a minimum windfall of $148,000. The list of players nearing or having earned contracts is extensive, with the final list typically confirmed by the end of March.
Renshaw's strong white-ball form also keeps him in contention for a Test recall. His previous stint on Australia's books was between 2017 and 2019, primarily as an opening batter in the longest format. His potential return to Test cricket is further fueled by Usman Khawaja's retirement and ongoing questions surrounding Australia's top order.
