The Board of Cricket for Control in India (BCCI) is set to earn nearly 40% of the ICC's net surplus earnings from its next four-year commercial cycle. In a report by ESPNcricinfo, the BCCI is set to earn approximately USD 230 million per year between 2024-27. This is 38.5 percent of the ICC's annual earnings of USD 600 million.

This is more than five times more than the second biggest earners - the ECB, in this proposed model. The ECB is estimated to earn USD 41.33 million - or 6.89% - of the ICC's earnings. CA, the third member of the original 'Big Three', comes next, and could be making USD 37.53 million (6.25%).

PCB is the only other board projected to make more than USD 30 million among the remaining nine Full Members of the ICC. The Pakistan board could receive USD 34.51 million or 5.75 percent of the total ICC earning between 2024-27.

The earnings of the remaining eight Full Members are below 5%. Of the projected USD 600 million pool, the 12 Full Members will get USD 532.84 million (88.81%), with the remaining USD 67.16 million (11.19%) going to the Associate Members, the ESPNcricnfo report has claimed.

How much will the other nations make?

Afghanistan: USD 16.82 (2.80%)

Bangladesh: USD 26.74 (4.46%)

New Zealand: USD 28.38 (4.73%)

South Africa: USD 26.24 (4.37%)

Sri Lanka: USD 27.12 (4.52%)

West Indies: USD 27.50 (4.58%)

Zimbabwe: USD 17.64 (2.94%)

The overall annual figure is based on the estimated USD 3.2 billion earnings of the ICC from the sale of its media rights alone. The media rights for the first time were sold across five separate regions globally including the Indian market.

Majority of that money has come from the sale of rights in the Indian market, where Disney Star* paid just over USD 3 billion for four years.
