Tower Sports has acquired satellite rights for ICC cricket events in Pakistan until the end of 2025 [Update at Post#79]

[Savak]

Bump. $14.5 mill per year for PSL terrestrial + digital rights.

But apparently for the next 3 year period where PAK plays 26 ODIs, 24 T20's and 11 Tests, the max. bid is $7.85 mill.

PCB set a reserve price of $21 mill. Nobody willing to pay more than 1/3 of reserve price.

Translates to $ 2.6 millon per year.

This is shocking. International bilateral cricket will die rapidly if this continues.

Test cricket especially will be cut even further.

Not right to use this example to highlight the death of bilateral cricket.

This is a message by the international broadcasters to the PCB to fix the team rather than stick to the same tried and tested bunch or don't expect a high billing anymore and accept being paid what you are actually worth.

Wow!! Is that really how much theh are getting. So whole year of home season brings in paltry $2.6 million? Does it even pay for player and coaches salary? Gary Kirsten and Gillespie between themselves would probably be taking 20% of that whole amount. A T20I broadcasting consists of around 80 people working on the day. Just their salaries and expenses would be atleast 1000$ per day. Just that will probably eat off most of the revenues.

These numbers are unbelievably low. That’s a couple of new car purchases for Virat Kohli.
