CA seeks middle ground as India, ICC fight over money | Pierik_AgeSport
The International Cricket Council wants to stage more ICC-run events in the next Future Tours Program from 2024, essentially meaning there would be a major 50-over or Twenty20 tournament every year, arguing there would be more revenue spread across all member nations.
"I think it's an example of the innovative thinking coming out of the BCCI with Sourav Ganguly as president. In his very short time, only a couple of months, we have already seen India commit to and host a day-night Test in Calcutta, so a brilliant result there," he said. That several countries, including New Zealand, South Africa, the West Indies and Sri Lanka, are struggling financially has added to concerns about the benefits of a Super Series. It was not that long ago that Australia, India and England comprised the "big three", where more than half of the ICC's distributions went to those powerful countries - sparking outrage among many in the cricketing world before the tie-up was unwound.
"We're really respectful of the importance of our international cricket relationships and our role as a leader in world cricket in supporting the development of cricket in other countries. We're really looking forward to hosting Afghanistan next year and that is an example of our commitment to world cricket," he said.
