Cricket Australia, formerly (and still often referred to as) the '''Australian Cricket Board''', is the governing body for professional and amateur . Cricket Australia operates the Australian Cricket Team , organising Test Tours and One-day International s with other nations. It also organises domestic cricket in Australia, including the Pura Cup First-class competition and the Ford Ranger One Day Cup domestic one-day competition. The organisation's revenue was AUD 72 million in the year ended 30 June 2005 (AUD 83.8 million to 30 June 2004; this decrease reflects the fact that income streams vary greatly over a four year cycle depending on which teams/competitions Australia plays, rather than long term decline). Just over half of this came from media rights and just over a quarter from sponsorship. Cricket Australia is in charge of regional development of cricket in the Pacific region, under the International Cricket Council 's development program. The National Selection Panel is part of Cricket Australia. Current members are: Andrew Hilditch (Chairman), David Boon , Jamie Cox and Merv Hughes . DOMESTIC CRICKET Australia's two major domestic first-class competitions are the Pura Cup (four day first class competition) and the Ford Ranger One Day Cup ( List A One-day competition). Six teams take part in these competitions:
The teams play a round-robin series of home and away matches against every other team, followed by a final. SEE ALSO Australian National Cricket Team EXTERNAL LINKS REFERENCES
