new delhi:The deadline to announce the team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 is today ie April 25. The ICC had instructed all countries participating in the Champions Trophy to announce their own team till date. Almost all the countries have also selected the team. But the BCCI has not yet selected the Indian team, nor is it currently in the mood to do so for two days. The reason for this is the new financial model of the ICC.
What is the whole matter?
Indeed, the BCCI does not agree with the new financial model of the ICC. BCCI has threatened to boycott the Champions Trophy in protest of this model. The final decision on whether or not to implement this model will be in the meeting of the ICC in Dubai, which is ending on April 27. Based on the decision that will come after the meeting ends, the BCCI will decide whether to select the team or not.
Why is the BCCI unhappy about the new financial model of the ICC?
In the world of cricket, the rule of three countries goes on. India, England and Australia. These three countries are called ‘Big Three’ of cricket. Based on the previous financial model of the ICC, the percentage of revenues received by Big Three was more than the percentage of revenue received for the rest of the country. This was the reason why these three cricket boards had wildly cash.
But now the ICC has changed the model and has created a mood to equalize the revenue of every member country. The BCCI is opposing it. He argues that the three countries give the highest benefit to cricket, the highest profits, the highest popularity and other items, so the ICC should not be hurt in giving them some additional benefits.
