BCCI projected to earn US$ 230 million per year in ICC’s new finance model

The ICC’s next revenue-distribution model looks set to confirm the BCCI as the only really big player in the game, with the Indian board projected to take home nearly 40% of the ICC’s net surplus earnings from its next four-year commercial cycle. The new model, currently at a proposed stage and seen by ESPNcricinfo, draws from much of the rationale that underpinned the short-lived Big Three takeover in 2014, but as far as take-home earnings go, it is more the Big One. The BCCI stands to earn approximately US$ 230 million per year between 2024-27 – or 38.5% of the ICC’s annual earnings of US$ 600 million.

That dwarfs the next-highest earner, the ECB, in this proposed model: the ECB could earn US$ 41.33 million – or 6.89% – of the ICC’s earnings. CA, the third member of the original Big Three, comes next, and could get US$ 37.53 million (6.25%). The only other board projected to make over US$ 30 million among the remaining nine Full Members is the PCB, which could receive US$ 34.51 million (5.75%). The earnings of the remaining eight Full Members are below 5%. Of the US$ 600 million projected pool, the 12 Full Members will get US$ 532.84 million (88.81%), with the remaining US$ 67.16 million (11.19%) going to the Associate Members.
