If cricket is included in Olympics then I think the spread of cricket will increase worldwide.

Yes, It's confirmed that cricket will be in 2028 Olympics, but not sure if it'll help with popularity cause people who watch it will watch it, rest don't bother, am I wrong?

Quote

Maybe the ICC doesn't think about the Cricket World Cup like the Football World Cup, which is why the ICC always organizes the World Cup with the familiar 8 or 10 teams. If ICC organizes a World Cup with 30 teams or more instead of 10 teams or 12 teams, then people of some countries around the world will follow cricket directly, so ICC will benefit from this aspect and also the popularity of cricket will increase. I don't know what is the problem of ICC if more teams play World Cup tournament, if ICC did not have a problem in this matter then even in 2025 there would not be this limited number of teams in big events like World Cup.

In last year's T20 world cup, competition was held between 20 teams, but all the new teams except USA were thrashed against established teams, almost as if these new teams didn't belong there in the competition and viewers didn't give a shit about minnow team's matches either as stadiums were found empty.

What I mean to say is, it doesn't make much sense to increase the number of teams, if they are not actually adding to the competition.

Indian market is more or less saturated. And given the smaller size of the Indian economy (at least when compared to that in the United States), I don't think that a lot of future growth can be attained. That said, the ICC can gain a lot if they popularize the sport in new markets such as Europe and North America. The 2024 T20I World Cup, which was combinedly hosted by the US and West Indies was a success in terms of revenue, but then ICC lost a lot of revenue as a result of incompetence of the organizers. And also, the lions share of revenue comes from Indian fans in the US (expats), and not from the natives.

Indian market for cricket has grown as much as it can and since India economy is smaller than US there might not be much room for more growth. But International Cricket Council can try to make cricket more popular in new places like Europe and North America. 2024 T20 World Cup which was held in US and West Indies made some money but people in charge made mistakes and lost a lot of money. It was also worth noting that most of money came from Indian people living in US not from local fans. This shows that ICC needs to come up with better plan to get more local fans in these countries interested in cricket.

If cricket can be spread all over the world instead of being confined to a few countries, it is possible to increase the area of cricket. In this case, the steps of ICC can play the most important role. India contributes the largest share of cricket revenue, which is why a kind of leadership attitude can be created among them. But if the cricket world becomes bigger, there will be more viewers, cricket will increase, which can make the cricket market bigger. And this can also end the one country dominance. I am not only in the case of India, but if any country is able to establish a dominance, then ICC can also exert invisible influence. Recently, several principles of ICC have been good, one of them is that they are creating the situation of cricket in places like Europe and America. Although it is time-consuming, it will not be difficult to take cricket to a certain level.

The match has gone into a very interesting situation. Zimbabwe lost his eight wickets at 205 runs. Zimbabwe needs 73 more runs to win this test match while they have only 2 wickets in hand. Afghanistan give a handsome target of 278 runs for Zimbabwe. Craig Ervine captain of Zimbabwe in on carees and playing at 53 runs. Craig Ervine inning assit Zimbabwe to win this match but other hand tail ender needs to stay on carees. Afghanistan bowling performance outstanding especially Rashid khan picked 6 important wickets by giving 66 runs and tomorrow last day of test match they need 2 more wickets to get victory for his team. lets see will Afghanistan win this match because they only needs few wickets while Zimbabwe needs a big partnerships of 70 plus runs to win it.

This match between Afghanistan and Zimbabwe was full of excitement, It is true. But Zimbabwe could not win this match. The pitch in the first Test match between Zimbabwe and Afghanistan was favorable for the batsmen, but the pitch in the second Test match was not favorable for the batsmen.

We saw that Zimbabwe had a target of just 277 runs to win this match. Still, they could not win this match mainly due to Rashid Khan's excellent bowling. The two Zimbabwean batsmen who scored a century in the previous Test match were dismissed for 0 runs in the second innings. Moreover, Rashid Khan bowled 27 overs and took seven wickets.

The Afghanistan team made a wonderful comeback in the second test match. It was very surprising that after being bowled out for 157 runs in the first innings, they won the match by an incredible 70 runs. All credit goes to player of the match Rashid Khan, who made a great memory in the Test match, picking 4 wickets in first inning and also pick up 7 wickets in second inning of test match. Rashid khan performed with the bat scored 50 runs almost in both inning of this test match. Zimbabwe bastman tired their best but Craig Ervine didn't saved this test match. Rashid Khan all round performance will assist to the team that's why the Afghanistan team will be able to win the Test match and also win the series.

2nd Innings are much more important to overcome the fault of 1st innings. The most important wicket is Hashmatullah Shahidi the captain of Afghanistan is beaten by Shinkander Raza. His score is very poor for 2nd innings. We see Rahamot Shah in the field in bat. If he sattled the bat right now then Afganistan grow up to 200+ runs lead to win. If Afghanistan leads Zimbabwe 200+ runs lead then it will be difficult for Zimbabwe to win. Best of luck Rahamot Shah's Afganistan.

USA is without any doubt biggest economy with strong system for sports and many other things which are giving them good benefit for long time, and they are having leading sports with huge revenues but as India having market and potential about this is also good they can also develop, but sadly we have not strong system and structure which can bring success even now IPL is having good figures, but cricket is not like we need which is the biggest concern for the BCCI and sports authorities.

If we have few strong changes then surely we can have big changes and Indian economy can give good support to sports which as well will have better results and good fan base around the world which could be brought more revenues for them through media rights things can go even fast, but sadly our mindsets are not for these big decisions.

Hot damn. I always knew that the IPL is still leagues away from the NFL and EPL, but the margin is way bigger than I anticipated. NFL leads in terms of overall revenue, but soccer leads in terms of overall popularity in my opinion.

IPL will most likely never catch up to them primarily thanks to the currency value difference.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_sports_leagues_by_revenue

USA is still the premium market. 4 out of the 5 richest leagues (NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL) originates from there. So I would not say that football is dominating the market. But it is true that Association football has the largest number of leagues among the top-100. IPL is just a minnow when compared to the American sports leagues or the EPL. Look at the case in England or Australia. Australian Football League (AFL) has annual revenue inflows of close to $1 billion, while for the BBL the comparable amount is around 1/10th of that. EPL has annual revenue inflow of $7.1 billion, while the same number for the Hundred is around 2% of that amount.

In big bash league tournament, Melbourne Renegades vs Melbourne Stars, Melbourne Stars team won game by 5 wickets and 2 balls. They played all matches not good but their performance in two games quite well. It is hoped that they will continue to play well in the future and Melbourne Stars team chance low in playoff Matches. The 23rd match between Melbourne Renegades and Melbourne Stars was played at Melbourne Cricket stadium. Melbourne Stars won the toss and field first. Renegades played a very bad match and lost game. In the past matches they have played all very poorly. Ben Duckett scored 67 runs and 49 balls hitting 4 fours and 3 sixs. Congratulations to Melbourne Stars for their upcoming matches.

The media rights revenue for IPL is huge, but it is still a fraction of the same with other big leagues around the world, such as the National Football League (NFL), English Premier League (EPL) and National Basketball Association (NBA). And given the smaller size of economy in India, it is likely to remain that way at least for the next 2-3 decades. So what can be done to make cricket comparable to football in terms of financials? Diversification is the key IMO, and the ICC need to shift their focus away from India and invest in regions such as Americas and East Asia.

In 2025, we will have 18th season of IPL, and it's making his mark is sporting world due to huge Indian market and also having good influence few big markets which giving him good advantage with organizers also doing good marketing which is surely giving them good reward as well even now it's having the biggest market then ICC events which is good advantage for them after watching these figures I am strongly feeling in next few years we will behave this league above Brazilian League but after this it's never been easy to go above this line because we have huge and long success history of leagues which are dominating sporting world.

But one thing is sure this league had good potential and if BCCI able to work on few markets then surely they can go double from these figures in next few years which could be huge success for them and their strong system which is now developing on another level.

Some interesting news from Europe: The European Cricket Association (ECA) has been formed by 6 associate nations from the region. Joining members are:

1. France Cricket
2. Federatia Romana de Cricket
3. Malta Cricket
4. Austria_Cricket
5. Jersey Cricket
6. Federazione Cricket (Italian Cricket Federation)

Interesting to note that the new association is not supported by the two full members from the region (England and Ireland). Also, the stronger associate nations from the region such as Scotland and Netherlands have shown little interest.

But IMO, this is a step in the right direction. The only regional body as of now is the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). And it's establishment in 1983 has been hugely beneficial to the associate nations. For example, the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) receives more than half of its annual funding from the ACC, while the ICC contributes to only around 10%. But then, the ACC is supported by all the full members in Asia, while the ECA doesn't enjoy any such luxury.

Credit goes to Zimbabwe bowlers Newman Nyamhuri and Sikandar Raza who hunted 3 wickets each by their dengerous bowling skill. Meanwhile Zimbabwe started batting and scored 6 runs only where Joylord Gumbie and Ben Curran handing the batting position as well. I guess, Zimbabwe will lost all of their wickets within 300 runs or less, this time cause when opponent team did poor score, other team didn't took the things more seriously. They played normally without increasing their efforts and dedication level in my opinion. Let's see, How many runs Zimbabwe can score in their first innings

Yes, Zimbabwe are top position after scoring a lead of 86 runs in first inning of test match. Afghanistan lost his three wickets at just 46 runs and still trail by 40 runs. Sikandar Raza picked the important wickets of Afghanistan captain hashmatullah shahidi at the end of day 2. Rashid Khan bowling performance in first inning is outstanding they picked the 4 important wickets of Zimbabwe team including the set bastman Craig Ervine. Craig Ervine played well in first inning scored 75 runs, just missed his well deserved century by few runs short but reached team to a leading total. I think Zimbabwe have enough chances to win this test match if they bowled out Afghanistan under 200 runs and they needs 7 more wickets to restricted Afghanistan under 200 runs.

The second test match between Zimbabwe and Afghanistan, already started and surprisingly Afghanistan lost all their wickets within 157-10 runs in first Inngins. I wonder cause in previous match, Zimbabwe Scored 586 while Afghanistan scored 699 runs and match was drawn. But today Afghanistan made a poor score while they have many talented players in their squad but most of them scored between 13 to 17 runs and lost their wickets. Rashid Khan(25) was the higher scorer lol. Credit goes to Zimbabwe bowlers Newman Nyamhuri and Sikandar Raza who hunted 3 wickets each by their dengerous bowling skill.

Virat Kohli playing here since 2008 since IPL starts since Virat Kohli's first season in IPL, since a lot of years but did not leave them maybe until he would not help him get the title. Their best team was in 2016 or 2017 when Virat Kohli team took RCB to the semi final. At that time they had a prime team, prime players like Abid Villers, Chris Gayle, Chahal, Virat Kohli, Travis Head, KL Rauhl and others. But now only Virat Kohli is left here and no one else.

Also the most hyped match, Pakistan vs India is on 23rd Feb at Dubai Cricket Stadium. The final is not decided yet as where it will be played, if India qualifies then it will be played in Dubai otherwise in Lahore.

Yes ICC has finally announced the schedule for the Champions Trophy. This year's ICC Champions Trophy tournament wanted to be hosted by Pakistan, but the Indian team did not agree to play Pakistan. For which there was a lot of discussion on this issue for few days then it was decided that this ICC Champions Trophy will be held in two countries. We saw two stadiums have been fixed for the final match. The final match of the ICC Champions Trophy will be played in which stadium is completely depends on the Indian team. If the Indian cricket team reaches the ICC Champions Trophy final, the match will be held at the Dubai Stadium. And if India can't reach the final then maybe it will be held in Pakistan's Lahore Stadium.

Indian government is always against the Pakistan and they don't want to see Pak in progress . I think India will not qualify for the final and final will be against two teams, Australia and England. Indian team will be out in the semi final or before. But my six sense in saying that final match will be in the Pakistan and Pakistan will earn a lot of money and Pak economy will be better after this tournament because ICC will give dollars for the arrangement of this tournament.

Yes one more thing I have noticed that if any tournament is to be organized in Pakistan then India never wants to play there. In fact, the relationship between these two countries is so bad that they never want to host a series against each other. You said that India will not qualify for the final, and you also mentioned that Australia and England will play the final match. How can you be so sure that Australia and England will play ICC Champions Trophy final match. All cricket fans know that India is a strong cricket team and they are far ahead of other teams in the ODI rankings i.e. they are above all the teams in the rankings.
