BCCI threatened ICC of a parallel world body

Good Job BCCI. If anyone has doubts about Indian revenue contribution to ICC.

Check this stat, The average salary of an IPL player is around $400,000 (Total salary paid by franchises/Total number of players sold). Where as the total salary budget of a BBL team is 1 million Australian Dollars.

Isnt BCCI created there own Indian version of ICC by creating IPL which bring more money and viewership than any other ICC event

True but we used to be the pioneers of innovation in cricketing - Much of the skills that are taken for granted in cricket today such as the reverse-swing or the dosra etc. were created here in the hot summers of South Asia; it is unfortunate that we've exchanged one ill for another ! Previously it was, as you rightly pointed out, class & race but now instead we're living by the mantra 'cricket is because of money instead of money being because of cricket' !

For starters India doesn't even generate that kinda of revenues....no one does 'cause its a symbiotic relationship; people don't turn up to watch India vs India they turn up to watch India vs Pakistan or India vs Australia etc. - You can play with your Indian National Team vs India's First Team & I'd love to see how much 'cash' that generates !
bcci's financial muscle is further enhanced by IPL which is a huge money making enterprise. BCCI retains capability to poach players from other national teams.
I dont know how much revenue each country generate(keeping IPL aside), not much a cricket buff, do you have the numbers?

Whats problem dear ?
Nobody is restricting any cricketer to show their skills..are they ?
We have more stadiums younger cricketers to lookafter..why should a nation with 80 million people should take same revenue as nation with 1200 million people ?
