The BCCI just received $2 billion or so (almost equal to the 8 year budget of the ICC) from auctioning two franchises. I guess now they can agree to an equal share of the ICC revenues. What difference does $15 million per year in additional funds will make for them? On the other hand, if this amount is distributed among 15 associate sides, then we will have cricket as a truly global sport in some years from now. IMO, all the full members should be receiving equal amounts from the ICC. That is not the case now, since the BCCI receive $50 million per year and Ireland receive $6 million.

I have a different prespective on that. If we talk about Ireland it's a much developed country with infrastructure of football and other sports already there. But if we see country like Afghanistan or alike there is hardly any infrastructure there. Such factors must also be kept in mind while distributing funds to associate teams.
