Ball-tampering scandal: After Magellan dumps Cricket Australia, here's a look at Board's other commercial partners
The Australian cricket team lost a major sponsor and a host of large companies tore up branding deals with individual players after the ball-tampering scandal. Here's a look at some of Cricket Australia's other commercial partners.
The Australian cricket team lost a major sponsor and a host of large companies discontinued branding deals with individual players on Thursday as the fallout of a ball-tampering scandal tore into the financial core of the country’s favourite pastime.
While the Magellan Financial Group Ltd binned a three-year team naming rights deal, which was only seven months old, sports apparel giant ASICS Corp and Commonwealth Bank of Australia joined in dropping players caught in the ball-tampering scandal

Commonwealth Bank, Australia’s biggest lender, dumped captain Smith as an ambassador.
Breakfast cereal maker Sanitarium Australia, which is owned by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, discontinued their relationship with Smith as a “Weet-Bix brand ambassador”.
Earlier, LG had scrapped their sponsorship deal with Warner and then ASICS cancelled sponsorship deals with both Warner and Bancroft.
