World Cricketers' Association calls for a more equitable revenue distribution and a revamp of the ICC's governance model

[HitWicket]

So the surplus share per each country of the grand total amount was 15000 GBP for the 1975 world cup which equates to 142000 GBP (adjusted for 2026 inflation rates) and that qualifies as a handout ?

Are Pakistan going to be expecting similar handouts now? How much is Pakistan's handout right now again? 144M USD over 4 years. Please have some perspective of the numbers involved.

£15000 would have been massive for many of the boards at the time (and the handouts increased massively for each successive event). It would have covered the entire Indian teams match fees for the tournament nearly 40 times over for example.

First some reports of an Arab league and now this, certainly the cricketing world is preparing to challenge BCCI supremacy

Where is the arab league?

There’s a league in emirates though.

claimed that India increased the prize money for the 1987 World Cup by 5x. This was completely made up nonsense.

Not at all, the reason the 1987 wc was played put of England and in India because bcci made a deal with reliance to raise the sponsorship to 5 mn usd, the 83 wc prudential paid 300 k gbp

Since 2010 Pakistanis are dreaming of challenging BCCI, kya hua?

This association has no recognition among Indian players and bcci so they keep whining

The prize money didn't need to cover the flight and expenses because these were already covered by the tournament organisers. Unsurprisingly the claim that the prize pot increased by a factor of 5 in 1987 is more made up nonsense.

The question is: Why were Pakistan allowed to co-host the tournament?

We have a strong third contender for the made up nonsense championships. Unsurprisingly both of the numbers in this post are made up nonsense.

Feel free to provide a source for the prize money increasing by 5x in 1987 as well whilst you're at it.

How did you arrive at that number? So £375 should be the match fees for the whole team for the whole tournament? Do you think before you type?
Do you also realize you’re arguing against yourself when you confirm such things that countries didn’t really receive anything substantial during those times?
You’re just digging an even deeper hole for yourself.

Give or take a little bit depending on your currency conversion and the fact I said nearly, yes. The match fee for Indian players at the tournament is readily available online.

Do you also realize you’re arguing against yourself when you confirm such things that countries didn’t really receive anything substantial during those times?

My argument is that you've been making up nonsense, which is blatantly true. As an aside from that, if the money wasn't anything substantial to the BCCI it wouldn't cover the match fees for the tournament nearly 40 times over.

Keep reminding us often. We keep forgetting it's existence if at all it does! They have been preparing to challenge BCCI for over a decade some strong foundation is being laid there I presume
