The NEW WORLD ORDER

.... theoretically, allows associates such as Afghanistan and Ireland to be promoted and play Test cricket, at the expense of the bottom two of the 10 full members. But in a sign of how concentrated power will be, the paper makes Australia, England and India exempt from relegation. thenational.ae/sport/cricket/india-australia-and-england-in-attempt-to-take-control-of-cricket#page2#ixzz2rL8iKro2
They should introduce another clause , that india will always be ranked #1 regardless of it's performances.

I have supported India getting more money. But rigging the standings and holding ICC events hostage is not right. Even such logical positions get you folk angry?
i agree on no relegation part. Ie everybody should be open to relegation nobody spared.

ICC would survive just fine, sure a lot of money will be lost to it, but it will survive, and eventually the BCCI will be forced to put their tail between their legs and come back, unless they just want to play against themselves for all eternity. In the eyes of the rest of the world, Indian cricket would be a laughing stock and when events like the world cup take place, the Indian public would wishing their team was playing and no doubt revolt against BCCI and force them to merge back.

yeah such an approach worked really well during the packer era.... the bcci will just nick a lot of good players from the other teams. Play them like packer did. Instead of playing Australia, we will play Australians......

The wealth and power of BBCI is mentioned alot on here, but just done a little research and the turnover figure for the ECB was 20m higher than the BBCI if the numbers were correct. However its interested that the ECB made very little profit because its reinvests the money into grass roots and club/county cricket whereas it seems the BCCI doesnt do this nearly as much
Don't know where you got the numbers from but 85% of ICC's revenue comes from BCCI and around 5% from England.

He is right. I have seen an old financial report that has both BCCI and ECB earning the same. I am not sure if its pre-IPL or post-IPL. Both BCCI and ECB gets around 120 million $ per year from tv rights of International cricket + domestic tournaments. But BCCI gets 100 million from IPL and another 50 million from Champions trophy. I am not sure how ECB makes up for the extra 150 miilion $ from its superior gate money. I think ECB gets more from sponsors but the difference is probably less than 10 million. This is the main reason BCCI wants more from ICC and wants to cancel FTP. Indian gate receipts for 6 odd test matches and 15 ODIs per year amount to very little as its all in the TV rights for India. Host nations hold the tv rights to Indian games and ICC to its tournaments. Both get huge amount of money from selling it to Indian TV channels and not so much from other countries.

BCCI is just attention seekers. Nothing will happen, they just to show their importance and be in the headlines and hence all this drama. Their aukaat is good but not as good as they are trying to show they are.

exactly' date=' SL-Pak-BD dont know how to make money via tv revenues. Take the SLC spent all their money in building a stadium in Hambantota in the middle of no where. [b']Sri Lankan premier league flopped. Pakistan keep changing CEOs at the drop of a hat. BD are mired in corruption more than even the BCCI. Its been long enough. Both Sri lanka and Bangladesh are growing well at about 6%. Pakistan is a 250 billion economy.
WRONG BCCI made cunning plans from the start of SLPL to ruin it.Reliable sources have revealed that Don Srini asked some of his fellow crooks to buy all the franchises in SLPL & avoid paying the players.That's the reason why SLPL was cancelled..

We used to pay top teams to come to India: BCCI

NEW DELHI: Reacting to criticism that the Indian cricket board (BCCI) is trying to take over world cricket by changing ICC's pecking order, a top Board official said that in the eighties, BCCI used to pay top cricket playing nations like the West Indies and Australia to play against India. "BCCI used to pay more than half-and-million dollars as guarantee money for inviting teams like the West Indies and Australia home. That time no one had a problem," a top BCCI official told TOI on Friday. In fact, BCCI claimed that some of the top boards were against India's participation at the 1983 World Cup in India as then captain Kapil Dev's team wasn't producing good results. Now, things have changed. With more than 80% money used in cricket coming from India, BCCI is eyeing a bigger chunk from ICC's revenue as India apparently needs to spend more on the game than any other Test playing nation. Regarding BCCI's demand on continuing with the Champions Trophy, the Board said it BCCI that conceptualized the tournament in the first place. "And it should continue. In between, ICC introduced more than eight teams for the tournament. Last year in England, it was a great success because only the top eight teams took part in the event," the official explained. "Cricket is big here compared to any other nation and BCCI needs money to popularize the game. What the Indian board is asking the ICC is not something unacceptable. The other Test playing nations are aware of it," he added.

I fully back the bcci getting more revenue from ICC events. Just get rid of that "cant be relegated" clause. Thats the only thing i dont like in the proposal.

that just proves my point about SLC being incredibly dumb.
