BCCI loses vote in ICC revenue and constitutional changes

[IMMY69]

Point is the BCCI despite all the patriotism on here aren't gonna sacrifice between 30 and 45 percent of its revenue which stems from international cricket.

Also, if they think that they can continue with just their domestic tournaments, then how long is this going to last? where will be the interest without International players?

In 15-20 years time some Aussie or English parent is going to wake up one day and say 'hey my 10 year old son should go and move to India and become a cricketer?'

Bottom line is that India needs the rest of the world. Without strong cricket elsewhere they won't be able to,

1. generate enough interest in their own country
2. have any foreign players to throw millions at.

 

[JoniInsafian]

A) Its not about how much its worth, its about how the treatment has been. How would you feel if Govt suddenly decided a 20% cess on all your earnings to feed the poor over and above the normal taxes?

B) and no $250m is Rs 1600 Crore, which is approximately the sum that is equivalent of renovating all cricket stadiums in India within a year.

This isn't all your earnings.... This is money you get from ICC for events they organize.... You get a higher share than everybody else.... BCCI doesn't earn the money, ICC does.... Fifa keeps most of the money.....

BCCI earns more than 2011 now. Exchange rates different.... Proportions are same.... This is less than 1% difference on total....;

 

[tomato]

So if they boycott international cricket as some posters are suggesting they lose more than 10 times more than they do if they just half their ICC income. Lol @ those posters

Current revenue is $570 million and ICC wants to reduce it to $285 Million.

Revneue after not playing international cricket - 46% of $570 million , ie $308 million )

 

[cricketjoshila]

India will continue to play bilateral series like it does.Only pull out of ICC events. Lets see how much ICC earns without BCCI.

If ICC earns the same its good for them.BCCI also doesnt participate so it wont claim any money or anything.Good for both of them.

Believe this is the best solution.

 

[JoniInsafian]

You misunderstand. I dont give a **** about BCCI. Let BCCI die and a better body emerge, I am all for it. I only care about India getting its due and not a penny more but not a penny less.

BCCI won't agree...... They have monopoly of cricket in india thanks to international cricket..... Otherwise even ICL was popular.....

 

[Big Mac]

So if they boycott international cricket as some posters are suggesting they lose more than 10 times more than they do if they just half their ICC income. Lol @ those posters

Perfect example of cutting off your nose in order to spite your face.

Taking a smaller slice of the pie in the short-term in order to grow cricket and make the whole pie bigger is a huge insult to national pride, I WANT MY MONEY NOW!

It's idiotic.

 

[Noobosauras]

As if the Indian public won't watch the CT and the World Cup even if India doesn't play. The ICC will survive for way longer than the BCCI. Pakistan haven't played India in years, yet they're doing okay.

You are right on the money. Indians including myself will watch it none the less. But mostly on cricinfo and getting glimpses here and there. Traffic in India wont stop like it does during Indian match at WC. Noone including myself will take Casual Leave to watch a match.

Slowly, things will become less important. And if say IPL is on during WCT20, what am I going to watch? KKR vs RR or WI vs Srilanka?? ask yourself?

 

[tomato]

Indians will watch it though. Maybe less than now but still a significant amount.

You have no idea. Already leagues like ISL/Kabaddi etc getting popular why would Indians watch International cricket if have IPL at same time?

 

[Bilal7]

Hope some ICC member says this to BCCI and our SC woke-up and do this , iPray. 6 to 8 month IPL in EPL style will be awesome. Matches on;ly on weekend and we can travel around country to support home team

EPL style with a bunch of Indian nobodies, West Indian mercenaries and a few rejects from Australia and South Africa. Even that is unlikely because what Aussie or English cricketer would want to live in India?

I can see it being tried for a couple of years, bombing hard and then going the way of India's soccer league. Won't be surprised if KL Rahul and players from his age group migrate to Australia or England to play some proper cricket.

 

[jagatk]

Now things will get tasty, i hate manohar but have to say he has played an absolute blinder here, over to you bcci, me thinks bcci self sabotaged here to get back at CoA, but this will have long term consequences not just for bcci but even for ICC, one way is bcci's power is broken for good or bcci may out of self preservation may bring srini mama or even pawar may get involved himself manohar may not enjoy those confrontations. IIRC there is still one more stage in getting theses changes passed through meeting to be held in june, can someone confirm it or is this the last stage.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Current revenue is $570 million and ICC wants to reduce it to $285 Million.

Revneue after not playing international cricket - 46% of $570 million , ie $308 million )

I'm fairly sure that revenue figure is purely revenue from the ICC given to the boards. 570 million is what the BCCI gets off the ICC now, not BCCI's total revenue. So your math is wrong here.

BCCI total revenue likely stems into the billions, wouldnt surprise me

 

[Noobosauras]

Well the BCCI had no issue making everyone else outside the Big 3 significantly poorer at its own gain 2 years back.

But isnt that expected? Shouldnt a member that contributes to atleast 50% earnings take home 30%??

I mean we are 1.25 billion of us, think per capita, we get far lesser than all other countries!!

 

[KyoOne]

Good news. Hopefully their bullying ways see a halt

We can easily arrange few series with England & Oz and leave others.

 

[cricketjoshila]

So 32 percent of income comes from events or tours based around foreign teams, and 14 percent or the media rights also comes from playing internationally.

There is a difference between not playing ICC events and not playing international matches.

 

[aloo paratha]

Current revenue is $570 million and ICC wants to reduce it to $285 Million.

Revneue after not playing international cricket - 46% of $570 million , ie $308 million )

That 570 million is around 7% of your income, while playing other international teams is more than 40...

 

[jagatk]

As if the Indian public won't watch the CT and the World Cup even if India doesn't play.

Actual facts show india not doing well in worldcups is very hurtful for icc, see 2007 world cup, are your views backed by anything other than india hate.

If every board just voted against the BCCI, what makes you think theyll agree to play with them bilaterally???

Every FM clearly told the BCCI to accept the changes today or move on. They wont backstab each other now if they didnt do so today at the vote.

That casual support would be enough for the ICC to keep doing well, especially if it leads to an increased interest in Afghanistan, Ireland, etc. The Indian public will get tired of an Indian-only IPL quicker than they will of international cricket.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Interesting news.I think the majority of Indian cricket fans would like to see a CT without India in it.

 

[JoniInsafian]

You understand nothing..... 570 million is only ICC events.... Total BCCI revenue is MUCH MORE. Most of that is IPL and bilaterals, which they don't share.... So if you kill international cricket, BCCI will lose billions, instead of 285 million!!!

 

[Noobosauras]

BCCI won't agree...... They have monopoly of cricket in india thanks to international cricket..... Otherwise even ICL was popular.....

BCCI are under the boot of Supreme Court at the moment. Look what happened to mighty Sahara. I dont have any particular hope of BCCI winning against the courts. If they are incompetent, they will die. But I think BCCI are very competent and did a good job overall (other than crony capitalism by Srini and a handful who will be weeded out soon)

As i already said to other poster there is only 32 slots for foreigners and hardly 20 big international players claiming it..really a not big problem to fill this by paying good money.Even Pakistani's will come

Most of that revenue is via bilateral series and not ICC events. It remains as such.

I hope India takes the moral high ground and pull out of the CT on principle

The BCCI will be stripped of their Full-Member status and kicked to the curb, if they pull out of the CT and the WCs and put the tournaments in jeopardy, lol. Baap ka cricket hai kya? No country will be playing any cricket with them until they come back with their tails betwee their legs and agree to plays World Cups and the CT as well.

This is exactly why the BCCI will never pull off something like this. They don't have the guts but surely have the brains.

 

[Noobosauras]

Thought we already covered this is another thread but India exiting an ICC tournament like the WC in 2007 didn't really affect the icc financially, the financial impact would of been on Star, an Indian company.

 

[Big Mac]

How long will the IPL continue to print money if it takes place at the same time as ICC tournament, which means that the best international players won't be in India at the time so you've got a bunch of second-string foreign players?

Not to mention that a huge reason why players like Kohli and Dhoni are superstars is because of what they did in ICC Tournaments.

So three, four, five years from now when the IPL is full of Indian players who don't have the international appeal of the previous generation and foreign players who aren't good enough to get into their national teams then what?

It's no longer a choice between KKR v RR or WI v Sri Lanka because now people will start choosing the third choice which is not watching any cricket at all.

All of this posturing is well and good in the short term but it isn't sustainable over a longer time period. it's why bilateral series will still continue, the BCCI knows it can't survive without the other members.

 

[Bilal7]

As i already said to other poster there is only 32 slots for foreigners and hardly 20 big international players claiming it..really a not big problem to fill this by paying good money.Even Pakistani's will come

Yes, of course the hypocrites in the BCCI will invite the Pakistanis when they're put in such a situation. No world class player will leave their international career and lifestyle to play and live in India. Don't be delusional.

Thats a gamble I will take with a smirk on my face.

That smirk won't last long.

Exactly , so for same reason without India no TV company will shell large amounts to buy ICC rights + even advertisers will not flock so how will ICC generate revenues then?

Yes, definitely up there with watching Rooney, Kane and Welback scores goals for EPL teams every weekend.

There will not be too much time to play with every one. IPL should grow to 12 or 16 teams. Play few major series per year that's all.

Simply because they will get more money if India tours.

The Membership Participation Agreement allows India to pull out of ICC events.So legally India can pull out and ICC cant do anything.

I wonder which country will say no to a India tour after ICC revenues take a big fall.

But if that was the goal they'd have rejected this proposal. BCCI probably promised several teams money spinning series which normally wouldve led to a victory but it didnt this time. Clearly for once the FM's are somewhat committed to pushing this through

Once India pulls out.The ICC revenues will go down drastically so anyway boards will take a huge financial blow.Now India tour is the most lucrative tour and is worth millions for any board.Just shortening a tour to SA in 2013 cost CSA 20mn USD. Think how much they can make by a full tour.

Secondly banning the Indian National Cricket team will have huge political ramifications.Its not a joke.

BCCI will continue to play bilaterals.

 

[Noobosauras]

How long will the IPL continue to print money if it takes place at the same time as ICC tournament, which means that the best international players won't be in India at the time so you've got a bunch of second-string foreign players?

A) We will have out heros in Test cricket via trial by fire. I hate ODI bilaterals and hope they die, but I think its too much to wish for now....

B) People in India are crazy. Dont expect normal behaviour. If this issue becomes about INDIA, noone is going to watch ICC events and it will end up in a race to show oneself more Indian by boycotting ICC

 

[cricketjoshila]

Clearly several said no today. You telling me BCCI didn't tell ZCB;BCB et al theyd get games if they toed the line??

Well they are now looking at getting a bigger share from ICC.Hence the vote.But when BCCI pulls out there will be a much smaller pie.Lets see who gets what then.

By the way, last week I had a blast watching 7th Class kids play in the park next to my home. They sucked like anything but me and my friend just sat in the bench and watched it for 2 hours. We watch anything. We will watch anything. Sharmas or not.

In India, the rich pay only 30% and lets not even talk about black money. I'm all for the new change if it helps cricket grow and struggling countries like Afghanistan and Ireland.

[Gubol123]

Let's see how much money the IPL earns if India stops playing in World Cups, World T20s and Champions Trophy tournaments shall we? Is BCCI going to stop playing bilateral series as well?

The IPL is huge because it's got star power, those stars are made in international cricket.

BCCI is welcome to pick up its ball and go home, yes it will hurt the ICC but the BCCI needs international cricket more than international cricket needs BCCI.



Biggest TV market of all the members.

actually Indian not participating in ICC tournaments might well increase interest in IPL. IPL will then become the only tournament where Indian audience can see Indian players against best of rest of the world.

 

[IAJ]

India will continue to play bilateral series like it does.Only pull out of ICC events. Lets see how much ICC earns without BCCI.

If ICC earns the same its good for them.BCCI also doesnt participate so it wont claim any money or anything.Good for both of them.

A) Not true, its substantial amount. The difference is Rs 1600 crores which is huge, enough to build international level 40+ stadiums in India.

B) How much does India earn per capita in cricket?? How fair is it that Australia with 1.9% of India's population get 50% of India's share?? So we fight for everything we can get.

There was a tourney called CLT20 it wound up for sole reason that not many interested in non Indian teams even with International stars.No one going to spend big money on Non Indian matches so ICC will suffer big time and fond running with folded hands.

 

[Syed1]

actually Indian not participating in ICC tournaments might well increase interest in IPL. IPL will then become the only tournament where Indian audience can see Indian players against best of rest of the world.

Actually that is the thing. Now that India would not be participating in ICC tournaments, ICC will not have any need to give India a 2 month window for IPL. Most teams will not waste a 2 month window and arrange some bilateral series during that time which may mean that only "best of the rest of the world" in the IPL will be Windies mercenaries and rejects from other nations.

Do it India!!

Pull out of the CL and then organize some additional IPL games at the same time.

Then arrange for a 6-8 month IPL tournament, only bring in the boundaries a little more. Surely, the Indian public want to see some more 6's..

 

[JaDed]

IPL all year,9 months long imo might be better for the country rightnow,lot of protests nowadays ,the only time the city unites is when one team is playing another.

Lets see if BCCI has the balls to do it and remove the salary cap as well with matches only in the weekend.

Lol spare me the condescension. I am a taxman. India has one of the highest rates of tax. I am in the department implementing GST here, I can assure you, tax rates overall (Direct + Indirect) is one of the highest in India. People mistake by comparing us to USA which doesnt have any indirect tax.

You know why developed countries are the way they are ? It is because they take half of what the rich's make and invest in public infrastructure like schools and roads. In India, the rich pay only 30% and lets not even talk about black money. I'm all for the new change if it helps cricket grow and struggling countries like Afghanistan and Ireland. Do we really need half of 7% income from ICC events ? Loss off 3.5 % annually doesn't sound like a lot.

Less than 3.5% sir.... BCCI income in 2015-2016 was 3000 crores rupees..... I think that's 3 billion dollars. 285 million is every 5 years (I think) so it is 60 millions of 3 billions (or 2%)....

No.

BCCI should arrange some IPL matches during Champions trophy.

Pls do that.

I'm fairly sure that revenue figure is purely revenue from the ICC given to the boards. 570 million is what the BCCI gets off the ICC now, not BCCI's total revenue. So your math is wrong here.

BCCI total revenue likely stems into the billions, wouldnt surprise me

Bro, BCCI operating cost is extremely high. 10,000 police officers are hired during each IPL or international match and BCCI has to pay for them. BCCI's revenue doesn't normally go over $30 Million according to my source. If that is the case then these cut will impact BCCI.

Funny thing is India didn't even submitted team for Champions trophy even after deadline day passed and ICC did nothing )

Actually that is the thing. Now that India would not be participating in ICC tournaments, ICC will not have any need to give India a 2 month window for IPL. Most teams will not waste a 2 month window and arrange some bilateral series during that time which may mean that only "best of the rest of the world" in the IPL will be Windies mercenaries and rejects from other nations.

Please take it away and watch more Gayle and ABDV happening.
