The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has reported a surge in its revenue for the 2024 financial year, earning a whopping Rs 20,686 crore. In the 2023 financial year, the BCCI had announced a revenue of Rs 16,493 crores, which means in the 2024 financial year, BCCI’s revenue increased by Rs 4200 crore.

Having said that, a major part of BCCI’s revenue comes from Indian Premier League (IPL) media rights and media rights and bilateral series media rights.The BCCI had sold the IPL media rights in 2022 to Disney Star and Viacom18 for Rs 48,390 crore.

The IPL 2024 season recorded a viewership of 546 million on Star Sports (TV) and 620 million on JioCinema (Streaming), which was an 18 per cent increase from the 2023 season. “The cash and bank balance of BCCI has increased from Rs 16,493 crores in FY2023 to INR 20,686 crores in FY 2024. This is an increase of approximately INR 4,200 crore,” stated a BCCI document as reported by news agency PTI

How BCCI’s revenue compares to other cricket boards​

BCCI, the world’s richest cricket board, is on top of the standings when it comes to revenue generation, with an amount of Rs 20,686 crore. Cricket Australia (CA) is in second place, having generated a revenue of Rs 658 crore. The third board of the ‘Big Three’, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), reported a revenue of Rs 492 crore, and behind them in fourth place is the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), with a revenue of Rs 458 crore. The revenues of CA, ECB and PCB combined add up to a total of Rs 1608 crore, which is not even half of what the BCCI earned this year.

In fifth place is the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), which has reported a revenue of Rs 425 crore. The bottom five of the standings consists of Cricket South Africa (Rs 392 crore), Zimbabwe Cricket (Rs 317 crore), Sri Lanka Cricket (Rs 166 crore), Cricket West Indies (Rs 125 crore) and New Zealand Cricket (Rs 75 crore).


Here’s a breakdown of each cricket board and their revenue generated for an easy reference:​

This isn’t talking about the cut bcci receives from icc alone for which it still maintains hegemony.
It is included in the revenue however.

Rest of money were all earned via marketing their product plus raising brand awareness and securing deals with big media companies


Nz is doing extremely well given how much they earn however they are a first world country though

Bangladesh earns more than I thought. Results are still however not adequate.

PCB too earns more than I expected. Not much to show for.

Without the ICC share, the PCB will collapse. Their TV rights deals are dwindling without any India series or IPL participation money. Surprised ECB and Cricket Australia are so low in comparison to the BCCI.
 
The most pointless discussion that happens around here and the posters that get involved in this have no life.

Bhai this doesnt really concern the fans. This is information that concerns the investors or businesses that are looking for some direct stake init through sponsorship.

Yet Kumar from Delhi or Tanvir from UK will get involved in this pointless discussion as if they get a share from this directly lol.

Not even a group of friends that work in different public limited companies sit and dicuss the investor relation data and boast around "my company has greater ROI compare to your company" (while all of them make the same minimum wage salary)

Na its Indian mentality and a few Pakistanis have also started to indulge in this weird behavior.

Like being a fan of the game is one thing, but boosting that my teams board made 100 carore is just stupidity at the next level.

Like even fans of players dont boost that oh my favourite player got the biggest IPL contract

Fans are the biggest stakeholders. Fans are the reason why you see these kind of numbers. Imagine nobody from India watching cricket.
 
Slowly it’s becoming like the NBA situation. I said it many years ago when people were comparing this to Football. If you want to see where Cricket is headed look no further than the NBA. They still take Olympics seriously which in our case is the World Cup but anything other than the World Cup will soon become pointless and all the top talent in the world will be almost the exclusive property of the IPL just like all the Basketball talent in the world is the exclusive property of NBA today.

Just like Jokic, Giannis, Doncic are top foreign talents in the NBA and ruling their respective franchises, a top level cricketing talent from abroad will make one of the IPL teams his home away from home like ABD at the RCB, Warner at Hyderabad etc.

Once Ina couple of years they will all proudly represent their countries at an ICC event.

IPL is already the 4th biggest league in the world and the biggest Non American league in the world. Sky is the limit.
 
They’re developing state of the art stadiums everywhere in Bharat right now and the appetitive for cricket in our country is crazy. We aren’t lazy like Pakistanis who cannot fill a stadium for a couple of matches for the sake of the nation.

IPL will get bigger if there’s more top tier international talent available.

Again, no one does that. So US posters here should feel proud about Apple shares doing well today even though they have no shares or ownership.

You are basically saying Indian posters get turned on by BCCI making 100 carore.

Youa re comparing a cell phone manufacturer with a sports team :rolleyes:
 
They have a huge market which is why they earn more. Most countries in the world don't care about cricket much including SENA countries.

Also, BCCI partakes in many unethical practices. For example, BCCI don't let their players to play in other leagues but readily accept foreign players to play in their league. This is a massive financial advantage over other boards. BCCI also get to host many ICC events (far more than other boards).

So, in a nutshell, BCCI's financial success is a combination of 3 factors:

1) Having a huge Indian market.
2) Other cricket nations not caring much about cricket (small markets).
3) BCCI's unethical practices/BCCI ripping off other boards.

You are an indirect stakeholder.

If 100 carores were made by BCCI, instead patting each others on the back, you need to ask why the viewing experience or the whole sports experience not at the same of watching cricket in UK.

Thats my point.

There are a lot of new grounds coming up. Infrastructure is far better than they were like 20 years back. If there are any inadequacies fans question them. Yes it has to improve. People raise this issue every time. They will eventually get there.

Question them? Indian fans dont.
Fact is 100 carore rupees and the services are not even close to the ones you get in UK or Australia, so whats the point of chest thumping.

Offcourse we make less than BCCI but more than some other boards and we still raise voice around here that services need to improve.

We dont go around high fiving each other that PCB made 50 carore, becase it doesnt concern us.

Thats my whole point

Well they do help a lot of associate sides which we welcome. They allow other countries to use Indian facilities. They let Afghanistan to host the matches. They atleast keep the game we love alive. Besides did you see the amount of new grounds that are being built?

Because it ensures that the Cricket team/infra that they run remains in top shape and brings joy to the fans.

Going by your logic why are you even duscussing anything about PCB and crying over their incompetence when you have zero say on what they do ?
 
Sports in general are waste of money if you ask me. NZ also proves you dont need to bring in that much revenue to be a successful team. You would rather allocate that money in other side of country's development.

Money incentivizes talent to work hard and to take up the sport, money provides financing for infrastructure, systems, quality coaching at the grass roots which can end up fine tuning average talent. Countries without money will learn the hard way that god gifted talent from individuals does not automatically spring up from one generation to the other which countries like West Indies, Pakistan are learning the hard way now. New Zealand is lucky they have their best generation of world class cricketers playing together right now but in a couple of years time a lot of these players will retire, lose form and not be producing the same output and the next generation of players may not be at the same level hence their performances will suffer.
 
In NZ players play multiple sports. THey get better in areas like fielding which is something Asian teams can never match. The team is strategically a good team. NZ is still a rich country. All the set ups are already in place. There is nothing new to develop. They play in all the leagues. They develop as players. Good high school programs are there. Athletically most of them are better than Asians. There are so many 2 meter players.NZ is obviously one of my favorite country to settle down in. Very laid back. Cool country. Who wouldn't enjoy playing cricket here.

Cricket is hardly popular in NZ. Most Kiwis don't care about it. So, I guess they are unlikely to allocate much money for cricket.
 
If you visit their youtube channel. You can see them showing their domestic matches live. Right now they are showing three matches live.

No sporting board gets to such levels without being CORRUPT

Remember how Aus and England used to refuse to tour Asian teams in 80s and 90s??

Past is never forgotten

So all the crying and Rona Dona means nothing to anyone. It’s well deserved karma

But.. I don’t care about that

What I care about is the funds that bcci earned through fraudulent means as you say needs to be invested in our domestic system and to improve facilities and infrastructure to aspiring young talents

That’s all I care about

I don’t give two hoots about a controlling body otherwise

Infact the payouts are pittance honestly

They only pay out like sub 21% of their revenue that is being distributed to their players

In nfl they pay out close to 50% despite earring 8 times more than bcci

EPL and la liga also earn around what bcci does or slightly more but their pay out is close to 40% of their revenue

So I am expecting bcci to invest in grassroots if they limited the player payout distributions to 21%.

I have some family members in nz

It is popular btw
Second/third most popular sport after rugby. Rich ones play yacht racing or have connections via parents or compete because they work for a shipping company.

Other sports that are popular are football and some individual Olympic sports.

Yes, Pakistan stadiums were empty in many matches in this CT… Also Pakistan made one big mistake of alleging India got advantage of playing at one venue. Due to this allegation there will be no effect on BCCI’s revenu, but due to this type of allegations other countries will now take advantage. In future, whenever there will be ICC tournament in Pakistan these other countries will oppose as India getting undue advantage

Very true, We should stop hosting international matches in Bangladesh just because India-Pakistan can't come to agreement.
Hosting in Dhaka has been total waste of money and time for international cricket.

I hope you’re not trolling and asking these questions in all seriousness. I’m not a troll and don’t insert myself in needless debates, so I’ll answer it through a logical argument. If you troll, I won’t respond or be a part of that, but I’ll answer any questions or be a part of a healthy discussion. So here goes:

BCCI income directly concerns the interest of the Indian cricket fans. You’re right: fans themselves don’t get a share of the money BCCI earns. But think of it this way - the more money BCCI earns, the more they put into the betterment and expansion of cricket across the country.

More money for state associations: results in spreading cricket at grass root levels through investments in better infrastructure, more grounds, clubs, schools, and universities. More money helps state associations do better talent scouting across the states.

More money for current cricketers, both domestic and international: results in making cricket a viable and attractive career for a huge number of kids. Not everyone is capable or lucky enough to represent India and there are a large number of cricketers in India’s domestic circuit that are really good but will never get the India cap. But because there is money in the sport now, kids are able to explore cricket as a profession. The talent pool has become so huge that India can send three decently competitive teams to play the three different formats. All because they are able to attract more kids to the sport.

More money for retired cricketers: helps retired domestic and international cricketers have a better after-cricket life through sufficient pensions and grants. This also makes cricket a viable career option for aspirants. For a sportsperson with a limited time to earn, only the desperate (poor) kids with no other option would take up cricket as a career if they didn’t see the safety of a pension. More money in the sport attracts more kids from the middle class too now.

Influx of money into coaching: More trained and certified coaches are in the system now than ever before, as a result of which better skilled players are being developed. BCCI is paying a lot of money to bring top past players and coaches into the MRF pace academy to coach bowlers. Some good players have come out of MRF.

Organized sports science, fitness, recovery facilities, and skill honing academies: Institutions such as NCA have state of the art facilities and BCCI is funding it a lot for its continuous improvement. They train and hire some good professionals to be a part of this elite setup.

You can see for yourself how the rise of Indian cricket has coincided with the increase in money BCCI has seen coming in. Talent is there in all countries including the poorer ones, so there will be some cricketers that will shine through with or without the money. However, the probability of success in an organized and structured cricketing environment with a large talent pool to choose from is much higher. Money makes this whole thing a lot more scalable. A successful team is built upon the fundamentals of economic stability for the players and the system itself.

Fans want a successful team and that fanbase only continues to increase as a team wins a lot more than it loses. Money plays a huge role in a developing country like India to put investments into infrastructure, skill development, organization, and attracting kids to adopt cricket as a career option. We have started to see the results of this investment now.

I hope I have been able to explain how all that BCCI money ends up affecting the ICT’s fan base.

BCCI sees huge profit, earns Rs 4200 crore more after astronomical IPL viewership

The Indian cricket board's bank balance grew by Rs 4200 crore after a successuful year of cricket that involved record viewership in the Indian Premier League and the ODI World Cup 2023.

No matter how hard you try, neither PCB nor ECB, not even in combination can touch the BCCI financially.

Without this money, cricket wouldn't survive. The other board numbers are not enough to prop up the sports of cricket or make it worthwhile to have an ICC.

If you ever were a fan of cricket you will be glad these numbers are beong thrown around

It's hilarious when grown adults pretend they don't understand how money affects every facet of life. And then same guys cry and whine about india getting krensay

But for their who are are pretending to be dumb - this is why these numbers matter

1) The next time you cry and whine why BCCI is getting so much say or their way, this is your answer. You don't have to open a 100 thread asking why ICC listens to india more or other boards. You can click this link. And this is why it matters to a Kumar from India.

2) Without BCCI earning so much cricket would be in a much poorer state. From better broadcasting, to tournaments like the world cup or WTC to ICC itself existing this matters. So of you even pretend to be a fan of cricket you will realize BCCI bringing in such money is good for not only india but all cricket nations.

3) In a way this also means that BCCI won't abandon other boards or ICC. They earn so much so they will want to keep the ecosystem going and not rock the boat. Win win for all.

You know what's funny? The same guys will cry and whine asking - why BCCI gets more say, why does ICC listen to BCCI, why does PCB need to accomodate BCCI, etc etc. india gets advantage in pitch and ground etc.

There will be a 100 threads about banning india, standing up to india.

Then when in answer the figures are shown, they will ask, why money matters.

How are they not able to put 2 and 2 together? If they understand this, they don't need to make 100 threads and posts on same topic about india's influence.

On one hand they claim india recieve undue advantage because of money. Ok then indian fans are glad for that money so our team gets that advantage. How is it that difficult to make that connection?

India ranked 120 in gdp per capita
Lol

Not bad for 3rd world country

That’s why I say population is a rubbish metric

Average Indian is poor

Jamaica for gods sake is 50 places higher in terms of geo per captia

We are over achieving in Olympics given the state of our gdp per capita

Wait till it hits 20 k or so then would be amongst top 30 /20 in the world in terms of performance in Olympics

In cricket yes we maintain a hegemony but average Indian again is still poor in India. So no, first would countries still have a massive advantage and yet we are second only to aus

That's what I mean.

BCCI is so powerful at $3k. Imagine what it will be at $12kish (around 2050)

In number of medals India is already in top 40, both last time and this time.

Will be top 20/30 by 2032. You need 3 golds to be top 30, 4 for 20. I see those coming by 2032 especially now that cricket is also in the mix.

And no at $20k it won't be top 30/20, it will be top 3 beside China and USA.

$20k is first world. A first world country with 1.6-1.7 billion. That is top 3

BCCI is the money maker. No doubt. Other boards should be getting their fair amount and things will be fine... No need to see what other board is earning or not. Just check what you are getting and if their is any injustice, then we can talk

Overachieving in Olympics while finishing even below Pak in the last Olympics? If you can't curb your population under control like China did, it will take forever to go to $20k from like $2k.

Around 4 k now but yea.

Pak had one medal. One gold yes
But India won more medals overall. Unfortunately no gold

Overachieving given the plight of gdp per capita

India is still a poor country.

Yea agreed but it’s laughable how Padosis and the ilk plus even goras use population as a metric lmao

Just pathetic really

Will give u an example

Funding by china is around 1.19 billion for Olympic sports

India max was 56 mil which is laughable. Aus invested 400 mil for their Olympic athletes

So yes still over achieving. There are too many morons around who are clueless about everything in general.

Yeah.

I saw a figure. Medals vs per capita income. India did quiet well.

Pak had won one medal.

One medal in the last 30 years.

India won 6 medals in last Olympics including 5 individual. Pak has won 3 individual medals in history.

Pak's medal was an aberration. Using it an argument is just cope.

Arshad Nadeem is a freak and I respect him. But he is an outlier in Pak's sports scene and Pak will soon go back to zero if Nadeem can't win a medal next time (their performances in both Asian and Commonwealth Games attest to that where they win single digit medals).

India's population is already under control.

GDP pci is $3k and will reach $20k somewhere in the 2060s (Even China is not at $20k and will require around 15 years - non-inflation adjusted)
 
I hope the BCCI shares some wealth with other sports. We have abundance of money to manage our cricket. Need to give some to other sports. Maybe help finance Olympians training for a medal.

Next Olympics cricketers will be Olympians.

Men's I'm expecting a gold. Women's good for a medal but hopefully they can improve enough for a gold. Have been very good at junior levels and hopefully WPL helps them upskill a bit more.

I have zero faith in our women to get anything higher than a bronze
Aus women in cricket are generally built like men for some reason. Seem to have a lot more testosterone

Maybe some steroids too who knows

Indian men should win

Is it t20 or do we play odi too??

Bcci won’t share crap with any other sporting body. I don’t blame them either but yea ideally it would be good if they can help other sports as well for Olympic pupsoes

But if you think about logically how does that benefit them?

What if Indian fans divert attention to another sport? Why would they do that?

t20.

indian women are as good as any non aus team so if they can avoid aus in semis maybe silver.

issue with indian women is they just don't have enough good allrounders/batsmen so their batting ends early.

when ind women play aus the chases start well but run out of gas by the end.

same script in all matches so ind women aren't that inferior to aus women but inferior enough that they lose.

my only hope is with the un19 teams doing well (2 back to back wcs) and wpl, this gap is closed.

reminds me in fact of afg men vs pak men where afg men got close but couldn't close it until 23wc.

Their fan base is higher abroad too as lot of Bangladeshis overseas.

They have good endorsements via their Bengali media lol
 
So PCB earns the 4th most among all boards, has that 2nd largest talent pool and still got knocked out by USA ? :inti

Charming
 
Bangladesh earns 5th most and 3rd largest pool but Bangladeshis don't have any talent

No excuses for talented Pakistanis to be performing so poorly though :inti
 
The income figures of rest of the boards isn't verified. It first came out on a online website and others copied it.
