World Cricketers' Association report Questions ICC Revenue Distribution Policy | Cricket -Nieuws

The World Cricketers' Association (WCA) published his report with the title 'Protecting History, Embracing Change: A Unified, Coherent Global Future' on Wednesday (March 26) in which it identified major problems that tease the sport and at the same time suggested solutions for them. The highlight of the 30 -page document is how the current model for sharing income from the International cricket (ICC) is “crooked” and emphasized Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that takes a lion's share (38.5%). The report further added that the global cricket finances “are not optimized”.
In the trumpet call, the report did not tackle why the BCCI takes the large part of the income or even considering it. The report also does not talk about the contributions of the Indian cricket board to the income pool of the Global Cricket Body. There is no reference to how the sale of media rights for the Indian market in the current cycle has given the ICC an inflow of funds that has never been seen before and how the advertisers stand in line for an India game.

“50% of all ICC income is spread over the largest three countries (38.5% to BCCI)”, reads part of the report.
Industry experts expressed their surprise about the observations and suggestions of the Paul Marsh-conducted committee and insisted that a blind eyes cannot be focused on how India contributes to the overall development of the sport.

“You say that for getting 85-90% of the total figures from ICC, the BCCI lasts far too much with 38.5%? There was a reason why ICC sold its media rights for the ongoing cycle in different bundles in different bundles and it was to take advantage of the Indian market.
In addition to the income exchange model, the report also affects the Franchise-based T20 competitions and noted that: “The IPL is good for almost half of the Worldwide cricket -economy But only 0.3% of sales with other countries and less than 10% share with players. “
In the recommendations, the panel also suggested “The release of India Mens players to play in global T20 competitions outside the IPL, growing interest in and the earning potential of these competitions.”

By clearly mentioning the basis, the report has again ignored how the Indian Cricket Board invests heavily in its infrastructure, takes care of former and current players and organizing more than 2,000 domestic matches in a season. A one -off advantage was carved for many former cricketers in India and they continue to get a monthly pension from the BCCI. In the case of an early fall of a cricket player, his/her family receives the amount.
“Who pays for all these expenses? There has been a constant drive to put players first and the recent test stimulus schedule, which was excluded last year, is a will. There is non-stop cricket in the country and it needs a steady stream of funds to stay all parts of the machine.
The WCA report has made countless suggestions for the problems that the worldwide cricket have and urged, “in accordance with international precedents, a minimum of 2% and a maximum of 10% for the top 24 countries, and a minimum of 10% distribution collective for countries 25+ Centralized Global Growth & Development”.
It is understood to mean that the report has already been shared with the ICC cricket committee and will soon also be shared with the cricket committee for women.
