Why does PCB need 50% funding from ICC? Why are PCB not able to cover 100%?
Almost every federation be in football, Hockey or cricket release funding to member states from earnings. Usually the funding goes to those members which are in initial stages of game on national level and need infrastructure like Afghanistan Cricket board in this case. But established boards also get a share out of because
1. They are the reason ICC exists and makes profits.
2. No one will ever care about cricket if only India, England and Australia plays it. They will still need 8-10 member states. You can not hold cricket world cup of 3 countries. Bad for cricket and bad for ICC. So it's responsibility of ICC to prevent member boards from bankruptcy. It wants PCB to run cricket affairs actually it needs PCB to do so.
That being said. I am not a fan of cricket but I am a supporter of sports. I recommend increase of atleast 200% in Sports budget in next federal budget. This is the only way to make someone listen to you. Psychology says that people are more inclined to go ve respect to opinion of a financially independent (ameer) person than a dependent.
