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 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.

However, the likes of Yum! Brands Inc, KFC and Toyota stood by Cricket Australia.
