Ravi Shastri He has requested that India receive a greater part of the International Cricket Council (ICC) income. Shastri said that it would be fair for Cricket Control Council to India (BCCI) to demand an even greater share, adding that India generates most revenue from the world’s cricket.
The income exchange model introduced by the ICC in 2023 has caused debates to the entire cricketing community, with various consequences that show concerns about its imbalance. 12 percent of the total income is divided between nine complete members, excluding the three major teams, India, England and Australia.
India received most ICC income during cycle 2024-27
India will receive the largest part of ICC income for cycle 2024-27, reaching 38.5% of total distribution, approximately € 1,968 or $ 230 million a year. This amount exceeds five times more than what England will receive (6.89%) and Australia (6.25%).
Your daily dose of cricket!
The Cricket Control Board in India (BCCI) is the richest cricket advice, with a net value of about $ 2.25 million. India’s contribution to Cricket’s world revenue is based on a massive vision, a high value of media rights and an unmatched commitment to fans.
With a population of 1.4 billion people, India brings a financial advantage that no other cricketing nation can match. According to reports, India reached favorable terms for participating in the ICC Champions Trophy of 2025.
Most of the money generated from India – Ravi Shastri
Ravi Shastri expressed strong support in India that received most ICC revenue, given the massive contribution of India to the world economy of Cricket. Stated that India generates the highest income through its audience and commercial success of IPL.
“Absolutely, I would like more. Because most of the money generated comes from India. So it is only fair that they get their meat pound fee,” Shastri said in an interview with Wisden.
“It’s relative, they are economies. If there may be another stronger economy tomorrow, money could come from there as it did in the 70-80’s, and the money part went elsewhere,” he added.
It is just fair, and shows in revenue: Ravi Shastri
Ravi Shastri said that India’s participation significantly increases vision and transmission income, especially during visits abroad. Shastri said it is fair that the country receives its current or even more share.
“So I think it is only fair and is shown in revenue. When India travels, watch television rights, watch television revenue for a series of India. So it is only fair that they get everything they get now, if no more,” concluded Shastri.
The income distribution model faced the reaction of several members’ councils. While most of the boards abstained from openly challenging the model, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was the only one who opposed it publicly, saying that many other test countries felt the same.
