The 5 highest paid cricket coaches in the world

#2 Darren Lehmann (Australia) - $550,000

Lehmann has been the coach of Australia for a number of years

An attractive left-handed batsman of his time, Lehmann was a joy to watch when he batted, as he mixed aggression with deft finesse. After finishing his playing career, Lehmann entered into the coaching domain via the IPL, where he was at the helm of the Deccan Chargers when they won the tournament in 2009. He then had a successful stint with the Queensland Bulls, before his popularity with his players made him an attractive candidate for higher coaching honors. Cricket Australia then sprung a surprise by sacking Mickey Arthur and naming Lehmann as the coach of the national side, less than three weeks before the start of the 2013 Ashes.

Since then, he has been an important component of the title winning Australian team. He led them to the 2015 World Cup triumph and also oversaw their latest Ashes victory.

His current contract with Cricket Australia sees him earn an annual salary of $550,000.
