Talking about rich ones yaar not developing world.
Tell me one thing how its fair to sponser any team, which has higher per capita from India?
We don't see such kind of generosity in other sports, I would very much like this system in other sports too.
OK.. maybe you are talking about teams such as Scotland and Netherlands. But even in this case, the cricket boards hardly get any funding from the government, since cricket is not an Olympic sport. IMO, it is unfair to them, as they receive only around $200K to $400K per year from the ICC. For comparison, Zimbabwe receive around $12 million every year. I want something like this:
25% of the funds to BCCI
25% of the funds to the other top-5 test teams
25% of the funds to remaining test nations
25% of the funds to associate nations
I've said earlier that I have virtually no problem if ICC equally distributes every penny to each nation but for this, they should've multiple team tournaments, not just 10-12 teams.
Idk what is current share of BCCI but if I remember correctly it was around 28% after the BIG-3 project faced opposition so not sure if more cuts in revenue going to sit well with the BCCI.
