8) Michael Clarke – Total income 4.9$ million
The Australian captain known for big daddy hundreds & astute captaincy and bold declarations is an excellent middle order batsman. Recently having tasted world cup glory on the home soil, the batsman retired from the shorter format in a bid to pro long his test career. A handy slow left armer fondly called “pup” by his teammates, Clarke commands huge respect in the cricketing circles for being able to lead an Australian team in transition so successfully. He draws a salary of $2.9 Millions. His major endorsements include Spartan Sports, Gillette, and Bonds
