Something that is happening now cannot be compared with something that happened 100 years ago because they are different events. The truth is that this is an absolutely bogus rule that, as far as I'm aware, only exists in cricket. I really do not believe that the national team should be made up of foreign players. There is no way that is fair for everyone in that situation.
In addition, if we talk about equal distribution of revenue, I don't think that it is going to happen because it is obvious that India will oppose any idea that promotes an equal distribution of revenue. This is because they are the ones who bring in the most revenue.
Migration only becoming easy in modern times and If they are naturalized then why it's an absurd idea? Middle eastern countries are on steroids due to their fuckery but in western sphere it's not a problem.
You making sound like only BCCI will object to this idea. Do other subcontinent cricketing boards have any sort of will despite being a freeloader or to some extent CSA, NZC?
BCCI is like the boss of cricket. Almost everything happens according to the plan that this set in motion. And when they oppose any idea, certainly other cricket boards are also going to join them.
But the thing is BCCI is not willing to say something unless that certain thing is creating a problem for them. Right now BCCI is yet to face any problems like that and that's why it's still being talked about. Doesn't matter if it's the issues of foreign players playing in the national team or equal distribution of revenue, the moment it starts causing BCCI problems, we will suddenly see cricket boards starting to oppose these ideas.
It would be ignorance if we are saying that BCCI never faces any problems, it's just they don't cry about it in public but raise their voice in the right forum sometimes they win, sometimes they lose (pointing towards a new revenue system, everyone voted against them, rightly so) but they still manage to create new opportunities to make more money, look at how swiftly they extended IPL window in return, that I admire about BCCI despite their shady behavior.
Back to the main subject of equal distribution (more than 90 cricket boards). Hypothetically if it gets approved then I am positive PCB, AFC, BCB, SLC, CSA, NZC, and WICB will be bankrupt within 1-2 years and there would be zero test cricket in these countries. PIG-3 will suffer too but they can sustain themselves.
@JSRAW while people do criticise BCCI a lot including me, but what I do admire about them is they dont make excuses and focus on finding solutions eg remember when covid happened they yet found a way to stage IPL and pay all boards money earned from it. Furthermore those countries would happily go bankrupt rather than listen to BCCI proposals, and if that happens then I dont think their citizens will forgive them hence I feel that theyll back out of this proposal at the last moment as they too know that its a disastrous proposal.
