If money is the most significant thing for the ICC, and if India is the favorite of the ICC because they are bringing in the most amount of money, I think ICC should be renamed from the international cricket council to the Indian cricket council. 😒
And if money is all that matters, award every title possible to India. Because no one else is contributing to the Treasury and that's why no one else has the right to win the title, right?
What's the point of having a sports body when that certain sports body is not going to be able to bring equality among all the teams and cricket boards?
Nothing is permanent. Two decades ago, India was a nobody in terms of TV revenues. There were too many government regulations and it was impossible for the private broadcasters to get a return from their investment. Rules were changed and only after that sports broadcasting became profitable in India. Pakistan and Bangladesh at this point are where India were in the late 90s. If the full potential in these two countries are realized, then they can also emerge as major markets for the ICC. But at this point, combined revenue from these two countries stand at around 2% of the revenues from India.
