One of the top teams in the history of world cricket, Australia have set various milestones, including being the five-time ODI World champions (1987, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2015). The Aussies are also the only ones to have won the World Cup thrice in a row.
Concerning the current ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 performance, the team opened its campaign with two consecutive defeats. However, the Pat Cummins-led team held its ground and grabbed its first two points against Sri Lanka. The squad is presently fourth in the standings with four points from four games and the way the competition is going, the Aussies appear to be one of the four teams to qualify for the semi-finals.
Due to the team being a dominant force in the history of the sport, winning the top prizes across formats and being able to attract eyeballs, the governing body for cricket in Australia, Cricket Australia (CA) has always managed to attract and retain some of the most well-known corporations as sponsors for the unit.
