The decline in Pakistan broadcasting rights at home and abroad - who is to blame the PCB or Pakistani Cricketers?

Lol, no one is bothering to answer the question i.e. who holds greater responsibility for this (The PCB or the Pakistani Cricketers in general)?

Selectors, PCB and players

IPL's value dropped 20% as well in recent times.

Truth is there aren't many worthwhile players to watch in world cricket currently. Most are T20 hacks. It is not just true for Pakistan but all teams pretty much.

Quality of cricket has gone down thanks to too much T20.

Also the dew factor is making cricket very predictable

In the warm countries even the T20 games are scheduled in the evenings. The team chasing usually has an advantage. Toss has become more important than anything else

If they want the interest in cricket to return, bring the bouncers back. There is hardly a notable genuine fast bowler in the cricket world presently

Cricket stopped being a men's game when they took the bouncers away

I also think that it's mandatory to wear a helmet against the fast bowlers. Take that rule away too. Make things interesting. Bring back fearless cricketers in the sport

It's is quite apparent that the reserve prices of all of the cricket events were exaggerated/overstated

Even the non-Pakistani cricket events' prices have come down

This is why I don't believe any of these cricket valuation figures


The series in question was abruptly planned. It has a very weak Pak team in it and I have no doubt in my mind that PCB is asking for the price which it doesn't deserve

Ipl media rights went up

It still had quality 15-20 years ago. It was marketable.

Not the case anymore. It is now just unskilled T20 nonsense.

96 WC, 99 WC, numerous test series from the past and all the big names of 80s, 90s, 00s. Cricket is nowhere near the same, and T20 is a rubbish format to please the crowd. It is not cricket, it's just tullaybaazi

Agree.

I think decline of cricket started with Dalmiya. He started the overcommercialization and cricket never recovered from that.

Cricket was a very appealing sport before Indians messed it up with petty politcs and overcommercialization.

It has to be this. Otherwise, no sport will survive. There will be no sport. Have to cater to the crowd. Or they will go elsehwere. Unlike in the past, they have plenty of options these days.

Just a thought.

It will take time for PCB to get back on track.. I think things are moving towards positives now...
