Ravi Shastri is the highest paid coach in the cricket world followed by Australia’s Darren Lehman and England’s Trevor Bayliss.
Team India’s head coach Shastri, as per ESPN Cricinfo’s The Cricket Monthly, draws $1.17 million per year.
Shastri’s remuneration is higher than Lehman ($0.55 million) and Bayliss ($0.52 million) by quite a margin.
In fact, the current Indian coach earns less only than what the top players from Australia, England and India take home in a year.
As per the report, South Asian teams pay coaches more than their top players. For example, the BCB pay Chandika Hathurasingha five times the basic salary of their top player. Similarly, Mickey Arthur is paid three times more than the top category Pakistan player.
