Abstract: Abstract We argue that the current match-fixing crisis in world cricket has its origin in the economic structure of the game. Cricketers’ pay is demonstrably low relative to sports of comparable significance and this is a consequence of the organisation of the game with its emphasis on international representative cricket. We propose and outline details of an international club championship with competition for players’ services. JEL Classification: L83, K49
