TOP 5 RICHEST CRICKET BOARD ACCORDING TO THE DOMESTIC BROADCASTING RIGHTS. RICHEST CRICKET BOARD IN THE WORLD.

Here is the top 5 richest cricket board in the world as per the domestic broadcasting rights.

NUMBER : 5

IT IS TIE BETWEEN BANGLADESH CRICKET BOARD AND CRICKET SOUTHAFRICA – APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MILLION USD PER ANNUM.
A) BANGLADESH CRICKET BOARD
Maasranga Television and Gazi TV (GTV) will be the two official broadcasters of Bangladesh Premier League(BPL) from 2019 to 2022-23 for 3 years. They have won the broadcasting rights of BPL for amount of 82 million usd. BPL live Streaming will be on Rabbitholebd Sports app. Gazi tv the private television network of Bangladesh also had the rights for broadcasting domestic bangladesh cricket matches for the value of 22.5 million usd in total for 6 Years.BCB broadcasting deal has been expired and new broadcastic deal is on hold because of covid-19.
B) CRICKET SOUTH AFRICA
Super sports have the domestic right for cricket matches in Southafrica for 6 years for approximately 200 million usd. The deal will run till 2021.
Even through as per now it is an tie but the condition of both the board is in contrast, as bangladesh cricket is on rise and south african cricket is on decline and it is on its all time low of last 3 decade. So we can see BCB rise in revenue because they have both fans as well as rising economy.

NUMBER : 4

PAKISTAN CRICKET BOARD -APPROXIMATELY 75-80 Million USD PER ANNUM.
In last 3 decades this is first time that Pakistani broadcaster ‘PTV’ have brought the rights for Pakistan domestic cricket. It is surprising but the value that is estimated is more shocking and unbelievable because it is said to be generating 200 million usd for PCB in course of 3 years. The previous broadcasting deal with indian broadcaster Sony network was for only 60 million usd for 5 years of span. The deal with Sony network was actually 150 million usd for 5 years but due to no “IND VS PAK” bilateral series they deducted 90 million usd from the deal. PTV along with Indian broadcaster Sony network also have broadcasting right of PSL which is worth 36 million usd for 3 years cycle.

NUMBER : 3

CRICKET AUSTRALIA – APPROXIMATELY 150 MILLION USD PER ANNUM.
CA agreed 6 years deal of estimated worth 900 Million USD. Foxtel and Seven West Media won the Media rights for cricket in Australia. They have beaten the previous broadcaster Network Ten and Nine Entertainment.Seven will broadcast all Test matches, women international matches and 23 matches of Big Bash while Fox will broadcast all Test, one day internationals as well as t20 internations on their network.

NUMBER : 2

ENGLAND CRICKET BOARD – APPROXIMATELY 300 MILLION USD PER ANNUM.
ECB agreed five years deal with Sky Sports and BBC for estimated worth of 1.5 billion usd for 5 years from 2020-2024.This deal include men international,women international as well as domestic matches. The new tournament named as “THE HUNDRED” is also the part of this broadcasting deal. Cricket will return on BBC after 21 years of gap and Sky Sports will continued its partnership with ECB as broadcaster which they are in for last 3 decades.

NUMBER : 1

BOARD OF CRICKET CONTROL IN INDIAN – APPROXIMATELY 700 MILLION USD PER ANNUM.
It is no surprise for all of us as we all know that BCCI is the richest cricketing board in the world but at the pace which their domestic broadcasting revenue is rising it is astronising and mammoth. The Indian domestic matches rights for 5 years is with Star India network for 944 million usd and the amount for Indian premier league is 2.55 billion usd which is also paid by Star India network which is owned by disney.

The revenue of BCCI is more then the combine revenue of all the other five board member in this list which is shocking and amazing. As the years are passing the Indian cricket team value is increasing in many folds and it is unlikely to stop BCCI position in cricket unless and until there is a new sports popularity rises in india or The sudden rise of popularity of cricket in USA / CHINA can also impact the money power of BCCI.

IPL:2021,BCCI EYEING FOR EXPANSION OF TEAMS IN IPL. HARSHA BHOGLE NOT IN FAVOUR OF 10 TEAMS IN IPL 2021.

IPL 2020 was a huge hit in every sense be it audience reach, content consumption or revenue. After the completion of IPL2020 there is an assumptions and specutions by reputed media houses that BCCI is planning for expansion of IPL by adding one or two new teams in IPL 2021. If they add even one new franchise in IPL 2021 then any how they also have to do an mega auction so that there is an equal distribution of players in terms of talent and skill and this will make the IPL an interesting, all teams will have chance to make solid and effective teams which can stay in the tournament and fight for the championship of IPL trophy.

BCCI can have two teams but it’s is more logical to have one team and it will be most likely to be Ahemadabad because there Is new build huge stadium with over 100k capacity. But it will be decided when their will be bidding for the franchise because whoever will bid more they will get the rights for the franchise. According to our study and logic Ahmedabad is front runner but Pune, Kerala, Odisha, Lucknow, kanpur or Jamshedpur, this cities can have their franchise in IPL . Bussiness tycoon Gautam Adani, Sanjeev Goenka, billionaire banker Uday Kotak, Industrialist Ratan Tata, Media Personality Ronnie Screwvala, Actor Mohan Lal and Salman khan are the interested owners names that are floating for buying an next IPL franchise.

Harsha Bhogle the most well known and respected cricket commentator also called as “VOICE OF CRICKET” has given his opinion on this subject. He said he want the IPL to grow and expand but is this the right time? According to him he is ready to have an 9 teams in IPL2021 but he don’t see 10 teams IPL happening in 2021.His concern is the duration of days that it will take for compeletion. Because, If IPL have 9 teams then it will have total 72 league matches but when IPL will have 10 teams then it will have total of 90 league matches which would require more days and he is not sure whether foreign players would be ready to play for such long time if they have national team matches. He also said that he is not a fan of having mega auction in every 3 years period. He said let BCCI decide and make an 12 teams IPL and lock them no more addition of teams and have one time mega auction that’s it, no more auction after that let franchise go all the areas of India and hunt for the talent and build their respective team without having a fear of loosing them. This will help the franchise to build and make long term planning. Franchise will have an clear idea and vision how they will lead their respective franchises in IPL. By this logic of Harsha Bhogle the fan will also feel connected to the franchise as they will not see more unnessecary changes in their favourite franchise and this will create loyalty among the fans fir the respective IPL franchise, which will help the franchise immencely. If BCCI add 2 teams now in IPL2021 then they can make two groups to settle and make matches possibly happening in short duration which Harsha Bhogle didn’t liked ,he added by saying that IPL is big and one of this reason is because it is simple every one know that each team will play other team one home and one away matches don’t make it like ‘BIG BASH’ where one team is playing one match against one team but playing two matches with other. He said don’t complicate the IPL.

King Virat Kohli to break another Sachin Tendulkar’s Record

Virat Kohli is breaking every possible record in batting set mostly by none other than master blaster Sachin Tendulkar.

The King Virat Kohli is on australian tour and he is on verge to become the fastest batsmen to score 12000 runs in one day international. He is currently 133 runs away from reaching the mammoth mile stone of 12000 odi runs in international cricket.

Virat Kohli has been the most consistent batsmen of this generation across all formats. Only person who could challenge him for number one spot was ab devellers but he is retired from international cricket for some time now. No player of this generation can challenge the greatness of virat kohli every year he is breaking records and create new one which is majestic and stunning.

The record for fastest 12000 odi run is made by Sachin Tendulkar. He made his 12000 runs in 300 innings. Interestingly Sachin tendulkar was the first and also the fastest batsmen till now to score 12000 odi runs. Virat kohli till now has played 239 innings in which he had scored 11867 odi runs.Virat Kohli still need 133 and he is expected to complete this milestone in australian tour as he will play 3 one day international matches.

Virat kohli would be only 6th overall batsmen to surpass 12000 odi runs in international cricket. Apart from sachin, the other cricketers who crossed 12000 runs landmark in odi’s are Australian Great Ricky Pointing in 314 innings, srilankan elegent batsmen Kumar Sangakkara in 336 innings ,Srilankan destructive batsmen Sanath Jayasuriya in 379 innings and Srilankan crafty batsmen Mahela Jayawardene in 399 innings.

Next cricketer after virat kohli who is chasing 12000 mark is his Indian team mate the great Rohit Sharma but he will take time as of now he has made 9115 in 217 innings and it is unlikely that he will surpass virat kohli’s fastest to 12000 odi runs record. But let see how many more record will be break and made by virat kohli in future.

PCB Ready To Host The Top Test Cricket Nations On Pakistan Soil.

After the horrific incident with srilankan cricket team on 3rd March 2009 near the gadaffi stadium in Lahore there was no international matches of cricket in the pakistan land since. Yes some small nations has toured pakistan, teams like zimbabwe, srilanka, westindies and bangladesh (no big players) but it was not really a full series.PCB was giving money to the boards for sending their players in Pakistan, it has changed now as PCB decided not to give monetary benefit.

But now nearly decade after the incident,the PCB is now confident that they will bring the top cricket playing nations in Pakistan and host the test matches in Pakistan Soil.

PCB is doing their best effort to convince the big cricketing nations to come in Pakistan. PCB also trying to give other nation an confidenece in term of security and sefety of their respective nations players and management people.

The CEO of PCB Wasim Khan has said to “The Associated Press” that they are building an healthy relationship with other cricket boards.

As per the Future tour program, the South Africa will tour pakistan for two match test series in January 2021 which will be the part of test championship. And southafrica will also play 3 t20 matches series in Pakistan.

After that in spetember 2021 newzealand will come to pakistan and play 3 odi’s and 5 t20 match series. England will also come to play pakistan but only for 2 t20 match series. Westindies will also come in December.
PCB is also hopefull that they will host australia in 2022.

On other hand bilateral series with India has no scope as the political relation between the two neighbouring countries is not good and both boards are clear, that they cannot play with each other in bilateral series untill there is allowence to play from their respective government.So ther will be no bilateral series in near future between india and pakistan and as a fan we will miss the contest but we will still see them competing with each other on cricket field in icc tournments and Asia cup.

The Top Test Cricket playing nation coming to pakistan will also help PCB financially and Pakistan cricket fans will also get to enjoy the great cricket matches in front of their eyes and it will also give boost to the players to play in Pakistan with full pack stadium. So it is win win situation for all. And we need strong Pakistan team for the betterment for whole cricket as Pakistan bring their own charm and charisma which is important for world of cricket.

THE REVIVAL OF REAL CRICKET”TEST CHAMPIONSHIP”

As we know there is talk on how we can save test cricket from demolish so here is my view as an cricket fan and my love towards the game as I want the game of cricket to grow world wide but also by maintain its quality. Cricket can be spread worldwide with the t20 format but to strength cricket it is important for the members of cricket boards to do something to create an atmosphere where people can really start having an interest in test cricket. Icc test championship is really good for the revival of test cricket but the current design of the tournament is really very much failure and rubbish. If icc really want the pure form of Cricket which is test cricket to be in limelight then they have to be loyal and desicipline. The cricketing board have to come forwade to help icc especially BCCI, ECB and CA. The powerhouse of cricket has to do their part in revival of test cricket.
As per my view, There should be top 8 team taking participation in the championship and every team should play each team once in the tournament from which top 2 teams with most points will play the finale. There will be 29 matches total including the final which will take approximately 5 months. So it will be long tournament and it may take lot of sacrifice mainly from the BCCI, ECB and CA but they have to do this for the betterment of cricket. This three boards have to take some financial hit for goodness of the game of cricket.
As 5 months is long period and we all seeing that test cricket is still alive in England and Australia in attendance perspective so it will be safe and make sense to start the tournament in the summers of the specific country. For example if test championship held in England then it should start at July and end at november and if test championship held in Australia then it should start at October and end at February. The starting few seasons should be held only in this two countries and then as per the requirement and results opportunity should be given to other member to host the championship in future.
The domestic t20 tournament of respective country australia or England have to do an sacrifice for the sake to organising test champion ship on their soil for that respective year of the championship. They can held their domestic t20 tournament before or after this test championship. As test championship will happen in every four year cycle so it will be difficult but not impossible for the success of the championship. Icc should market the test championship with full potential so that it will catch an eyeballs of cricket loving people. It will take a lot effort from icc and every board member but for the sake of game they have to take this situation as an opportunity and work on this as soon as possible.
