Firstly 20% is reasonable, IMO, as long as other boards can also survive and the cricket doesn't regress.
Because there is billions of dollars in it. Remember India generates "70%" of ICC's revenue. The current 8 year projected is 2.5 billion USD...what is 70% of that? 1.6, maybe 1.8 billion, no?
Indian fanbase pays to watch India. Indian team is Indian. Rest of India is also Indian. Thus, sponsors, broadcasters, and more important 120 crore Indians will devour the matches between India, ROI, India A, B, C, all the way down to Z.
IPL doesn't need guys like De Villiers or Mustafiz...they have Yusuf Pathan and Ashok Dinda. Those guys will garner more viewers because they are Indians and Indians bring all the money. There will be a 12 month IPL where every team will play a 100 game season before a 2 month playoffs ending with a 7 game Final like the NBA or NHL.

Not my quote.But NZC Ceo David White and various very credible media outlets.
Secondly you have no idea how the money is accured.
Thirdly as long as NZC believes they made 35mn USD it will not matter whether i or you believe it or not,as they run NZ cricket.
I don't have any idea how the money comes in (other than what's detailed on the financial documents), but I can tell you it's practically impossible for a single series to have brought you in $35mn profits when you haven't ever had that amount in your bank account despite getting given $20mn to host the world cup a couple of years back. Perhaps you could post the quote again so we could look at it in context as it's fairly clearly not in line with the financial statements no matter how the money comes in.

This is the NZL ceo quote and report from NZl media confirming the same.
Can you post the links to those financial documents becoz the contradiction makes no sense.

"He would not provide a figure but knowledgeable sources told Fairfax it is more than $35m."
So is there an actual quote and a mention of that value being profit anywhere?

ICC Chairman Shashank Manohar has today agreed to defer his recent resignation following an ICC Board resolution to request him to remain in post was passed with overwhelming support earlier this week. In a significant show of support for Mr Manohar the Board asked him to withdraw his resignation or at the very least defer it until the ongoing process relating to governance and financial restructuring are completed.
Commenting on the decision Mr Manohar said: “I respect the sentiments expressed by the Directors and the confidence they have reposed in me. In the light of this, and although my decision to depart due to personal reasons has not changed, I am willing to continue as Chairman till the responsibility as per the resolution is complete.
“I have duty to work with my colleagues to enable a smooth transition and continue our work on the governance of the ICC.”
Cricket Australia Chairman David Peever said: “This resolution is a clear indication that whilst the Board may not yet agree on the detail of our reform process, we are committed to the overarching philosophies of it. We all believe that Shashank should be the man to see it through and whilst respectful of a decision made for personal reasons, we are delighted that he has agreed to remain in post until the completion of the 2017 Annual Conference where we can elect a successor.”
BCCI’s Vikram Limaye added: “It is important that the current issues are resolved to everyone’s satisfaction. We had a productive meeting with Mr Manohar recently (prior to his resignation) wherein we outlined the concerns of BCCI on the financial model and governance issues and our suggestions for resolution. We are committed to working with ICC for a satisfactory resolution of these issues.”
Nazmul Hassan, President of BCB said: “For the greater interest of cricket, we need Shashank as the Chairman of ICC especially at this critical juncture. He can be assured of our full support.”

The ICC and BCCI should negotiate a mutually agreeble course. Imposing the views of 8 or 9 nations over that of 1 would make us just as bad as the BCCI. Granted thats how a democracy works.

seems Shashank Manohar might continue as International Cricket Council (ICC) chairman after it emerged that various member boards are trying to convince him to complete his two-year term.
Shashank Manohar, who had said he would quit after completing one year at the June conference where the new constitution and revenue model would be ratified, was appointed International Cricket Council (ICC)’s first independent chairman in May last year.
Manohar had played a key role in bringing in place a reformed constitution that ended the ‘Big Three’ model. The previous model guaranteed India, England and Australia the lion’s share of ICC’s revenue and more power in governance.
Manohar’s stance has been appreciated by most many member boards of the ICC and they voted out India and the ‘Big Three’ model.
“Manohar had said that he will quit after one year and won’t complete his two years at office. But now, there is a belief among members that he should get another term after his first term ends in mid-2018,” said a source in the know of events.
It has been learnt that one of the points of discussion in the ICC meeting last week in Dubai was expected to be the choice of an ICC chairman once Manohar quits after the annual conference in June.
That was an important issue as the time to appoint Manohar’s replacement was already very short. Giles Clarke of England, David Peever of Australia and Thilanga Sumathipala of Sri Lanka were the contenders. Sumathipala was very keen and had thrown his hat late in the ring.
However, as things panned out and the ICC board voted convincingly against the Big Three model in the meeting, there was no discussion over the choice of next chairman.
Some top BCCI officials believe that Manohar has been rewarded for ensuring that the ‘Big Three model’ is done away with.
Manohar had quit in March after it emerged that BCCI had collected enough votes to block the new constitution. However, he was convinced to continue and agreed to carry on only till the annual conference in June.

Giles Clarke ready to take on the most powerful job in cricket
Giles Clarke is poised for a tilt at the most powerful job in cricket, and finally realise his long-held ambition of becoming chairman of the International Cricket Council, if the position becomes vacant this week.
Telegraph Sport can reveal the current holder, Shashank Manohar, has been given until Thursday to confirm if he intends to see out his full term in office, which is due to end in June 2018.
Manohar resigned suddenly in February but was persuaded to return to chair the ICC’s last meeting in March and stay on until the governing body’s annual general meeting next month. But he has not publicly committed to the job for any longer.
Manohar has been given a deadline to make a decision of May 11, the same day any nominations for his replacement also have to reach the ICC. Jockeying for his position has been going on for weeks, and Clarke is in pole position to become ICC chairman in the event of Manohar standing down.
If Manohar goes the election for his replacement will take place at the ICC’s annual general meeting and conference in London between June 19-23.
It is understood Clarke will stand if he thinks he will win an election and become the second chairman of the ICC. If he stands for election at the ICC he will have to give up his role as president of the England & Wales Cricket Board, the role that allows him to sit on the board of the ICC. He will be replaced as England’s ICC director by Colin Graves, the chairman of the ECB.
Clarke was interested in the job when the post was created 18 months ago but he did not attract enough support due to his involvement in the so-called big three power grab at the ICC by England, India and Australia.
Clarke was tainted by his role in the reworking of the ICC’s constitution which vested power, and a greater slice of cricket’s income, in the hands of England, India and Australia and marginalised the smaller nations.
But at the ICC’s last meeting in March, the big-three model was redrawn and a fairer distribution of money agreed. Attempts are still being made to persuade Manohar to stay on but he has faced huge criticism back home in India in recent weeks for his role in scaling back Indian power at the ICC and he will have to decide if he still has the stomach to carry on now that change has been achieved.
Clarke will hope the part he played in scaling back the big three has won support of the nations who refused to back him in the election for the ICC chairman’s role last year.
He will receive the backing of Pakistan as thanks for his work in arranging for an ICC World XI to play in Lahore in September, paving the way for a return of international cricket to the country.
Australia are also understood to be behind Clarke but the key will be winning Indian support. This could be a good time for Clarke to make his pitch for the job for it is unlikely he will have to go head to head with an Indian rival. Indian cricket administration is in chaos at the moment and it is unlikely they will be able to field a candidate with the necessary experience to win an election.
The ICC’s constitution states the chairman must be either a current or past director of the ICC board.
Many of India’s old guard have been swept away by the Supreme Court in India as part of its clean up of cricket administration.
Another candidate for the job could by Singapore Cricket Association chairman Imran Khwaja, who is head of the associate nations and sits on the ICC board. He was instrumental in persuading Manohar to return and has strong backers in India.
The next two years are crucial for the ICC. After the Champions Trophy next month the ICC does not have another global tournament for two years so can concentrate on constitutional change that goes to the very heart of the board’s existence.
The ICC is facing an identity crisis. Is it a private members club where self interest rules or a global governing body able to lead the game?
International bilateral cricket is in a battle with Twenty20 leagues for the game’s top talent and months of prevaricating over the introduction of Test and one-day leagues is bringing the issue to a head. It will need strong leadership from the top to be resolved. Clarke, ever confident that his way is the right way, will believe he is the man to do that if Manohar exits for good this week.

ICC Meet: Chairman Shashank Manohar may agree to extension if elected unopposed
NEW DELHI/KOLKATA: Shashank Manohar's extension as the chairman will be one of the key points of discussion as the member nations of the International Cricket Council (ICC) meet in Kolkata for its quarterly meeting starting on Sunday.
Former BCCI president Manohar is ICC's first independent chairman and, in all likelihood, will get an extension during the Annual Conference scheduled in Dublin in June.
According to highly-placed sources, the Nagpur-based advocate will not contest an election and will complete his full term of two years only if he is a unanimous choice.
England and Wales Cricket Board's (ECB) outgoing chairman Giles Clarke has expressed his interest in the chairman's post but there is a big question mark whether he will be able to garner support.
"To throw his hat in the ring, Clarke will need the support of two full member nations (England excluded). Even if one considers that Pakistan will show their solidarity for his (Clarke) role in getting international teams to play in their country, it will be difficult to get a second vote," a senior BCCI official told PTI on the condition of anonymity.
For the record, Manohar has never fought an election at any level in his career as cricket administrator.
He has been the president of Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA), BCCI (twice) but every time he was chosen unanimously.
From PCB, chairman Najam Sethi will be attending the board meeting and Subhan Ahmed will take part in Chief Executives Meet.
With Pakistan appealing to the ICC's Dispute Resolution Forum against India for allegedly not honouring the MoU to play bilateral series, it might not be a friendly meeting between PCB and BCCI's Amitabh Chaudhary and Rahul Johri.
The other notable discussion will be regarding the fixture of the ICC ODI World Cup in England from May 30 to July 14, 2019. The ICC is expected to release the fixture by April 30 as per the usual convention (releasing fixture one year before hand).
There will also be discussions about the ICC World XI squad that will take on the West Indies XI in a charity match at the Lord's on May 31. The game is being played to raise funds for the renovation of damaged grounds in the Caribbean.
From India, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ishant Sharma are likely to take part in the event, considering both are currently plying their trade in England in the County Championship. There is no clarity if skipper Virat Kohli or Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be available for the match.
There will also be a women's committee meeting and detailed discussions on fan engagement.

PCB should be able to convince South Africa to get Giles in. It would be fairer for cricket because he can keep a strong relationship with India and Pakistan, no politics in the way.
Also Giles was in Pakistan a few months back trying to find ways to bring cricket back. He needs to be elected.

So another two months to go for Mr. Manohar and then Giles Clarke? I am not so sure about Clarke, he will change whichever way the wind blows.
Will be interesting to see if he goes the Big3 way or does something for everyone. The key being, will he have the backbone to stand up against the BCCI or will he just rubber stamp everything BCCI.

ICC chairman Shashank Manohar set for re-election as former ECB chief Giles Clarke loses support
Former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief Shashank Manohar may have a two-year extension of the term as the independent chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC), with all the member boards understood to have agreed upon his re-election.
Manohar's term ends in June and according to a report in the New Indian Express, the incumbent ICC chairman seems to have pulled ahead of the former England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chief Giles Clarke.
According to the report, Clarke hasn't found the necessary support, with the current dispensation in the ECB under Colin Graves seemingly not too sympathetic towards Clarke's cause. What's worse, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Cricket Australia (CA), which had earlier favoured Clarke, is understood to have backed away in the wake of the ECB's reluctance.
Graves, one is given to believe, is also interested in contesting for the ICC chairmanship, and that that could be the reason behind the hardness of his stand against Clarke.
A BCCI official said that Graves was guarded in his strategy. “He is holding his cards close to his chest. Until he arrives, we won’t know what’s in store. He is ambitious, but whether he can get enough support at this point in time remains to be seen. As things stand, Manohar is the unanimous choice,” the official told Express.
The Express had earlier reported that with Clarke interested in contesting for the post, Manohar was willing to make way. But given the new equation that has emerged, there has suddenly emerged an alignment in favour of Manohar, with even the BCCI – which had been rubbed the wrong way by Manohar when he cut its share of ICC profits – throwing its weight behind him.
And not only that, the BCCI is understood to have spoken to PCB chief Najam Sethi so that the unity of the Asian bloc is not harmed. This special initiative by the BCCI may be explained by the fear of losing a plum ICC position to the Western bloc if Clarke or Graves is elected, which then may be difficult to wrest back.
The ICC will be holding its quarterly board meeting this week in Kolkata, where it is planned to throw a party for Clarke in recognition for his work as the head of ICC's task force on Pakistan affairs.

PCB backstabbed Giles Clarke rightly rewarded for helping PCB to bring back international cricket to Pakistan. posters should stop talking. Where are those posters who talks about moral duty and obligations.

Another Masterstroke by Nazam Sethi.
Yes if it is beneficial for PCB.
PCB would normally do anything to thaw their relationship with BCCI, could be a reason.
It'd be stupid though, since BCCI is the least reliable of all boards

Shashank Manohar will serve a second term as the independent Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) after he was the sole nominee put forward by the ICC Board.
Mr Manohar, who became the first independent ICC Chairman in 2016, will continue for a second two-year term following his unopposed election. During the last two years, Mr Manohar has led significant reform of the sport, reversing the resolutions of 2014, introducing a revised governance structure, including the appointment of the ICC’s first independent female Director and the development of international cricket structures that bring context to the global game and provide more opportunities for more Members to compete.
Commenting on his re-appointment Mr Manohar said: “It is an honour to be re-elected as the Chairman of the International Cricket Council and I would like to thank my fellow ICC Directors for their continued support. Together we have made big strides over the last two years, fulfilling promises I made to the sport when I was appointed in 2016.
“Over the next two years we can look forward to launching a global strategy for the sport in partnership with our Members so we can grow the game and ensure more of the world can enjoy cricket. The sport is in good health but we are the guardians of the game and we must continue to work hard to maintain that.”
According to the election process, ICC Directors were each allowed to nominate one candidate, who had to be either a present or a past ICC Director. Nominees with the support of two or more Directors would have been eligible to contest an election. However, given that Mr Manohar was the sole nominee for the position, the independent Audit Committee Chairman, Edward Quinlan, who has been overseeing the election process, has declared the process complete, and Mr Manohar the successful candidate.

Don't see Manohar finishing his second term. I expect an early resignation.

A slap in the face to BCCI - great news for cricket even if it is for the short term. Even as an Indian working in cricket, he had the courage to expose BCCI's "bullying" (his words not mine).
This will leave a bitter taste for BCCI cheerleaders.

Why do you think that?
Or are you being sarcastic?

CoA won't last forever, and once BCCI powers are restored, I expect a very difficult road ahead for Manohar.

He's been elected, so why would they decide to remove him?
I think they will allow him to finish his tenure out.
I think his "stand" against the BCCI is overstated. I mean, he presided over and approved a disproportionate $400 million.
He gave away the lion's share to the BCCI. Yes it was less than the previous time. Less by a whopping $21 million/year. Something the BCCI probably makes from a couple of IPL matches.
He has not been fair to the other boards or to the ICC itself. Which is why I am not a huge fan of his.

I give him the credit for dissolving the big 3 and to his credit he was at the one fronting for the cut in the global revenues towards BCCI but as expected they started to blackmail ICC threatening to pull out of the CT last year, so unfortunately they will always have to be a comprise somewhere.
Succumbing to the BCCI makes him no different than any other ICC head. If he was really standing up to the BCCI, he would gone ahead without their participation in the CT. But no, like all others he too was more interested in BCCI $$ to fill ICC coffers.
By the way Big3 still exists. Just not officially. Mr. Manohar still gave most of the $$ to the Big3 leaving crumbs for the rest of the boards and nothing for the associates. So he has failed there as well.

I agree with everything you have said but I actually think he has good intentions however like the rest of the ICC he is powerless. Things could be hundred times worse with Srinivasan believe me and at least he is calling them out. It is a shame though BCCI ends up getting away with this ill-handed approach of theirs.

Terrible for BCCI and Indian cricket,they can't seem to catch a break.
Intentions do not change things, actions do. This was/is the best time to get things right, when BCCI has less control over their own affairs. But soon BCCI will start running things and nothing can be done at that time. Rather no one would be willing to do anything as everyone wants the BCCI $$.
I feel the ICC has missed the boat.

I do not want to continue from June 2020: ICC Chairman Shashank Manohar
https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/cr...-chairman-shashank-manohar-1627042-2019-12-10
International Cricket Council (ICC) Chairman Shashank Manohar's term is set to end in May 2020 and the former BCCI President is not too keen to continue for another term even though he has said that the majority of the directors wish for him to continue in the position.
"I am not interested in continuing for another two-year term," he told The Hindu. "The majority of directors have requested me to continue but I have told them that I do not wish to do so.
"I have been the chairman for nearly five years. I am very clear, I do not want to continue from June 2020. My successor will be known next May."
Manohar was elected as ICC's first independent Chairman in May 2016. He was re-elected for his second two-year term in 2018. His term in the ICC has also seen some decisions are taken which have left the BCCI upset.
The last ICC board meeting saw the formation of a working group -- led by Cricket Australia's Earl Eddings -- minus any representation from India and that shocked BCCI officials. In fact, the proposed Future Tours Programme (FTP) of the ICC is another area of concern as it calls for a World T20 every year and a 50-over World Cup every three years. The BCCI has refused to agree to that and has even found support in Cricket Australia and the England and Wales Cricket Board.
It will be interesting to see how the new set of BCCI officials take to Manohar's ways as Secretary Jay Shah will be representing BCCI in ICC's CEC meets. As for the board meetings, the call on representation is awaited.

No more CoA at Bcci. Bcci will do everything to make sure he is not elected. So as usual he runs away from a fight.

International Cricket Council chairman Shashank Manohar, who is expected to step down in June, might get a couple of months’ extension as the ICC’s Board Meeting is set to be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In all likelihood, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chairman Colin Graves will replace the former BCCI president, who, it is learnt, has decided against seeking an extension for a third two-year-term.
“This is for sure that Manohar is going but he will probably stay on for another two months as the annual Board Meeting in June looks highly unlikely at the moment considering the global situation,” an ICC Board member told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
“So it might be in August that ICC will have a new chairman,” he added.
The BCCI, however, remains wary of the Vidarbha lawyer, who was seen as an adversary by some in the Indian Board.
“Till Manohar steps down officially, I will not like to believe (anything). Seeing is believing. He still has a term left. If he decides at the last moment that he wants to continue then it will be a different story,” a BCCI veteran said.
Hong Kong’s Imran Khawaja’s name was initially floated as Manohar’s possible successor, but it is understood that he doesn’t have the support of the full members.
ECB chairman Graves, who is supposed to step down from his country’s board in November 2020, has emerged as the favourite for the ICC top job.
Those in the know of ICC’s board room politics feel that Graves’ biggest advantage at this point is support from all the major Test-playing nations.
“England, New Zealand, Australia and West Indies will support Graves’ candidature. He also shares a great rapport with BCCI although the world’s richest cricket board has not openly supported any candidate,” the Board member said.
It is expected that BCCI will have a better working relationship with Graves compared to Manohar, whom they have time and again accused of not keeping Indian interest in mind unlike the times of N Srinivasan.
At ECB, Graves will be succeeded by former FA Chief Executive Ian Whatmore.

The ICC Board met yesterday to discuss the process for electing the next Chair of the ICC.
No final decision was taken regarding the election process and the subject will be discussed further at the next ICC Board meeting on Thursday. The existing Chair confirmed he was not seeking any extension to his term but would support the Board to ensure a smooth transition.
Additionally, reports of a postponement of the ICC T20 World Cup 2020 are inaccurate and planning for the event continues whilst a number of contingency plans are being explored in light of the rapidly changing public health situation caused by the COVID 19 virus.T

This Manohar guy is really a timid, spinless person. He was all this big talk during the time the BCCI was not in charge of their own affairs. But the moment BCCI got control back, the guy peed in his pants and quit.
The guy was all talk (when he knew BCCI could not do anything) and no substance.
