Cricket Australia insists Cummins’ comments did not influence Alinta’s decision as it ends partnership
Cricket Australia’s $40 million deal with Alinta Energy is set to come to an end next year, after it has been reported test and one-day captain Pat Cummins had raised ethical objections to chief executive Nick Hockley.
In a statement this afternoon, CA thanked Alinta for its “generous sponsorship as the Principal partner of the Australian Men’s team and Platinum partner of Cricket Australia over the past four years”.
It also said that due a change in brand strategy, Alinta has decided to end the partnership next year, asserting that any conversation between Cummins and Hockley did not influence Alinta’s decision.
