You really don't need to make shit up, this is not true even if we go back to BIG 3 revenue model. Back then (ICC tournament) share distribution was 20 ish%, 4ish% and 2ish% for India, England and Australia respectively. On figures for BCCI it was $593 Million but now it come down to $293 Million, deduction is more than $200 Million What else you are complaining or expecting ?

Plz reread my previous reply to you

The so called other boards you are talking about, they take commission (10ish%) from the BCCI if their players gets sold in the IPL Auction, they even take extra 10% from the players too for NOC.

Comparison with other franchise is not fair IMO. just look at average salary and revenue. Is BBL or CPL willing to spend 3 Million on Virat? if not why would he go there ? just to give you one bizarre example Rishabh pant IPL salary is more than million, on the other hand you can entire squad in BBL if you got million dollar in your pocket. Having said that for BCCI Indian players are assets (in some case domestic players too) and rightly so considering the shit load amount of money they draw from BCCI and sponsors.

And why should they share the revenue with the others, its local tournament right?

No one is going to deny this. Even I agree that Indian market accounts for more than 60% of the ICC revenues. But the question here is, should the ICC given them a disproportionate share of the funds. We are not talking about revenue that originate from the Indian bilateral tours. We are talking about the revenue from ICC tournaments. Take the example of the T20 World Cup. A total of 16 countries participate in the main tournament, and dozens more take part in the qualifiers. Ideally, the revenue should be divided equally between these 16 countries, with another share going to those teams which failed to quality. But the BCCI want half of the revenue from the world cup. Is this fair?

The other boards are already agreeing to a lot of unjust demands made by the BCCI. They allow their players to participate in the IPL, while the BCCI never allows the Indian players to participate in the other leagues. No major tournaments are conducted during the two-month IPL window, while none of the other leagues, such as BBL and CPL enjoy such largesse.

And the BCCI receives more than $1 billion every year from the IPL (sponsorship, TV rights, gate collection.etc), which they don't share with any of the other boards. And the BCCI is not satisfied even after all this and they want a larger share of the revenues from ICC tournaments as well!

BCCI does not distribute the revenue it is done by ICC and already BCCI is paying more and getting less with the new revenue system in place.

The question is if BCCI is able to generate that kind of revenue why cannot other boards do the same? If other boards have issue in generating revenue why blame BCCI for everything.

BCCI don't want to distribute the revenue further with more teams and that is the reason why Cricket was not included into the Olympics as well when all other boards are okay to accept it.If the system goes like this for few more years then next generation may not much interested with watching cricket.

If ICC is serious about spreading the cricket world wide then they should introduce 24 team world cup tournament for ODI and T-20 instead of 10-12 teams but no they are not interested as they don't want to repeat 2007 like scenario. 

Indian players not only get paid by the IPL franchise but also by the BCCI. If a player does not get selected by any IPL franchise he is still getting paid by BCCI.

The amount is far better than what other boards are paying to their players. Therefore I do not think there is still need for them to go and play for other boards.

Here is the revenue share model of ICC

I am surprised to see Zimbabwe in the third position, so how the share system actually works?

I understand that BCCI takes most of the revenue from the ICC tornaments etc but what about Australia and England Boards ? Aren't they also considered as main boards like BCCI. I dont think ECB and ACB can settle on any less revenue as compare to BCCI.

It's not correct to compare a sport like Cricket to Soccer in the revenue aspect because they follow different systems. The BCCI are a corrupt board and everyone are aware of that, but that doesn't mean that they don't deserve the lion's share of the revenue.

India is probably the top revenue source for the ICC which is why they deserve the lion's share. However, the BCCI needs to utilize that revenue more efficiently.

Not every Indian player is going to find a franchise every year so if someone doesn't get a spot then they should be allowed to play on other leagues so they also will get exposure about their talents which could help them to build their international career.

What we all need to accept is Cricket is a regional sports. And with the franchise league, we have commercialized it much more than most other sports. People are no longer interested in a quadrennial 50 overs world cup. They want quick and entertaining action, that be complemented in the duration as a regular movie.
India generates the most direct and indirect profit for cricket. ICC is BCCI.
Though I still wish they'd spend more on developing and spreading cricket around the world, but it's their choice, people can live without cricket.

BCCI share already took a massive hit but anyway what do you propose in new policy, ICC should follow the FIFA's model?

NZ population is 5 million
Ind population is 1.35 Billion

Sure, kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

The ICC needs BCCI, as much as the BCCI needs ICC. But that doesn't mean that the BCCI should be given lion's share of ICC revenues, at a time when some of the smaller boards are facing bankruptcy. None of the other sports bodies such as FIFA or FIH follows a similar model. They divide the revenues equally, without thinking about from where the revenues are originating.

If other boards ban their players from playing IPL they will leave their boards because of the money. Indian players are happy with BCCI decision to ban them from playing with other boards because they know which board is capable of generating the highest revenue.

Only two days left for IPL to start and our pool has already 14 members with a pot of 0.084+ BTC which is in fiat currency $910+! Check this live:


Only 0.001BTC is in between you and the pool. Would you rather stay in the sideline and not joining the pool? Last two days guys, HURRY UP!

That's sound like a good option, every board should stand up against BCCI and force ICC to ban India from the international cricket, so what if BCCI generates 70% of revenue and brings more on the table. I am sure all cricket boards and ICC won't mind reduction of funds once BCCI gets kicked out from the Int community.   

These measures were implemented when N Srinivasan was controlling the BCCI, and I believe that they should remove this ban. It is very unfair from the part of BCCI to ban the Indian players from the other leagues, when all the other boards allow their players to take part in the IPL. Also, two months every year from the international calendar is devoted to the IPL. None of the other boards get such preferential treatment for their leagues. On top of that, despite the revenue redistribution, the BCCI still receives almost 4 times funds from the ICC when compared to some of the smaller boards such as CSA and NZC. The BCCI should not get too greedy and arrogant. If they do that, then the other boards may gang up against them.

Its still completely banned no Indian player can participate in any twenty/20 league other then IPL and they are very stick about this surely in future they are not going to allowed this as well because this can hurt their marketing strategy no other board can do policy like this because they have no enough funds to do this.

BCCI refused the permission in the past but I am not sure BCCI completely banned Indian players from overseas t20 leagues and other other cricket boards too have just kind of need if they want to participate in T20 leagues organized by other boards.

Welcom Vishnu hopefully your solid revivews will help us in coming IPL as your are one of best predictables in this event just give your some views about all teams could be appreciated before start of this mega event.
