PCB to receive largest share after Big Three in new ICC revenue model

In a new proposed financial model by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is set to receive the largest share of revenue after the Big Three - the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI),  England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and Cricket Australia (CA), reported ESPNCricinfo.

According to the proposed model, the BCCI will receive the largest share of revenue, accounting for approximately 40% of the ICC's net surplus earnings for the next four-year commercial cycle.

Between 2024-27, the BCCI is expected to make around US$ 230 million annually, which accounts for 38.5% of the ICC's total yearly revenue of US$ 600 million.

ECB and the CA are projected to receive around 6.89 % (US$ 41.33 million) and 6.25% (US$ 37.53 million) respectively. The remaining will be divided among the rest of the cricket boards, with the PCB receiving the largest share among them.

The PCB is the sole Full Member among the remaining nine to have a projected earnings of more than US$ 30 million, with an expected amount of US$ 34.51 million (5.75%).

The eight remaining Full Members are expected to earn less than 5%. Out of the projected earnings of US$ 600 million, the 12 Full Members will receive US$ 532.84 million (88.81%), while the remaining US$ 67.16 million (11.19%) will be distributed among the Associate Members.
