BCCI destroyed cricket by taking 38% of the budget. There are 100 Nations. 12full 88 associate. Something has to be done

[@Ashtrek_yt]

Tbf, BCCI's share is justified since India contributes more than 80% of the total revenue. Taking half the money that you're generating is not that bad, while other cricket boards are letting the game wasted by simply not doing anything substantial.

[@mrrattrap1488]

​@@Ashtrek_yt No , it isn't. What is BCCI doing with it? Only developing Indian Cricket. That money is for Cricket as a sport. No one outside Indian subcontinent takes cricket seriously because it's played by a handful of Nations. You need sport to be developed at a global level to be taken seriously. There have been few good KZbin videos talkobg about this with good arguments of how bcci has ruined cricket as a whole.

[@sarban1653]

@@Ashtrek_yt The BCCI's obsession with creating and redistributing profit to themselves is not needed. It just results in this nonsensical farce of a 10 team WC. I'd rather world cups make less money but have more teams. The BCCI are at the root cause of keeping cricket an elitist sport.

[@Ashtrek_yt]

@@mrrattrap1488 I know there has been some videos published. Thing is, (no offense to them whatsoever) they told you one side of the story, that's the problem. The power BCCI got today, Australia and England had that in '80s &' 90s. But, cricket still grew that time rapidly. Why? Because, every other cricket boards wanted their team to grow properly. Now, coming back to present, cricket boards of Sri Lanka, Pakistan, West Indies have killing themselves due to corruption, Bangladesh have no proper grassroot development plan; and in SENA countries cricket never was the most popular sport. Now, India got so much ahead of them, that it seems like India is destroying cricket. Even, ICC only care about their money only. Reality is, had all the other boards not been so incompetent, things would have been different. Now, from the monetary perspective, all cricket playing nations (including developing nations and they will be getting more money because of BCCI's mammoth broadcasting deals, otherwise it wouldn't have been possible) will be earning significantly more than the previous cycle of revenue distribution, but no test - playing country have given up any percentage of share for the developing cricket in associate nations. Why should BCCI only do that? In fact, BCCI is the only cricket board to help other cricketing nations (Afghanistan and Nepal). And, developing nations need to level up their game, because they are nowhere near International level. Also, did you know, Dalmiya, former president of BCCI, in fact, started Champions Trophy to be hosted in developing nations to fund those nations, but it was ICC who shifted the tournament away from those nations to fill their own pockets. Tbh, I researched about this topic a few months ago, scripting and editing was done, but never published, lol... So, imo, BCCI is definitely a capitalist business organization, but it's not destroying cricket. Because, in 10/20 years, you'd prefer watching an IPL game much more rather than watching SL WI BAN matches. It's what people want, and BCCI is doing what we want.

[@ark7054]

That's bcoz Indian fans contribute the most. BCCI has no business promoting cricket in other nations. That's the job of ICC. BCCI isn't even developing proper cricket environment here in India, forget about outside India. Many people they don't get any opportunity. They are spending more on fancy setup more than the spot itself.

Demise of ODI's is simply inevitable. I think 2027 wc will the last ODI wc. With increasing no. Of teams in t20 wc and its action packed nature It will surely beat ODI wc revenue. The main challenge for ODI is its length very less people have time to watch a match for 8 hours.before internet people don't have lot of entertainment options hence cricket became so big in india, nowadays cricket is competing with KZbin videos,Netflix shows , insta reels. Test have already a limited and dedicated fanbase & T20 is the future hence it's time to say goodbye to ODI .

ODI cricket is the best format .. Such a treat to watch... But it's lengthy

[@DynamicSarthak]

In think. There should be franchise cricket (t20 or t10 but t10 is blind slogging so i think t20 is better) for 7-8 months IPL, bbl, psl, sa20 etc . Leagues played in different countries including champions league in those 7-8 months best teams from each league will compete here .But the problem here is sometimes same set of players are present in top teams of different league. Thats why i think they should schedule and conduct leagues at same time (like premier league, laliga etc) so that players don't overlapse new players will get chance to showcase their talent in different leagues and cricket will grow. And bilaterals should be removed only test cricket should be done as bilateral. Odi and t20i should be only played during world cup qualifier or any other icc tournament qualifiers. ❤

Yeah, it's the only way to save it and restore a balance. The current scheduling is unsustainable.

If cricket should get a rebirth, BCCI, Australia board and england board should help other countries to improve cricket. Big countries like Brazil, Indonesia, japan teams have to be better in cricket and the big three have to help them. The biggest boost for cricket would be the inclusion of a strong Chinese team, They still have time and they can rebound greatly in next ten years. If they took good efforts. Cricket can have way more fans if only the cricketers work for it.

[@Ashtrek_yt]

Reality is, no country will help other countries to develop sports unless there's a economic benefit. So, smaller cricketing nations should develop themselves at least to a respectable height, otherwise, it still will be a game for commonwealth nations

ODI format is any day better than the 'HIT & GIGGLE' T20 format! T20 is for kids! It takes strategy and playing well over long periods of time to win ODIs, while T20 is just a slog fest these days with bowlers being used as bowling machines. Although ODI rules, pitches need to make sure it's a fair competition between the bat and ball. Less scores, less fours and sixes are ok, but the competition needs to be fair between the bat and ball. Overall, the best format is test format. Ask any cricketer which format they hold in the highest regard.. it's always the test format which really tests a player's technique and temperament over 5 days. Bowlers and batsmen have an equal opportunity to shine in this format.

Ultimately, those kids will be future consumers and broadcasters will always try to attract younger generation. Like, it's not what we want, rather it's what that makes more money.

As an American who is heavily interested in cricket and its growth, I do not personally think that it is dying. Throughout the years, I've seen people say insane things about baseball and basketball, about how baseball is dying, and basketball has been "solved" which is making it boring. Time and time again, it's been proven wrong, so I don't have as many doubts about the vitality of cricket.

[@Ashtrek_yt]

No, you slightly misunderstood my statement. I'm not saying that cricket will die, it's gonna stay and it'll just get bigger. No major sports will ever die, be it baseball, be it basketball or tennis (unless we live in a dystopia). Cricket has as least 3 different formats - which is kinda funny if you compare it with other sports, but we're used to it. Thing is, the cricket we've seen earlier, will be completely different from the cricket 5/6 years later down the road. T20 cricket will be the main format, franchise leagues will dominate; in fact, ODI world cup, which is the pinnacle of the game, is in danger. Also, players are not interested in playing ODIs or even Test, because it is not making a lot of money. That's what I was trying to convey.

Don't get rid ODIs just get rid of ODI World Cup. Now i know you will what kind of statement is this. Listen, i think ICC must revive ODI Super league, but as i said it earlier get rid of ODI World Cup, so this time it should be for the qualification of Champions Trophy. It should be the ultimate ODI championship happening every two years. Every team must play 8 ODI series 4 home and four away in two years cycle 3 ODI series so it will be 3 × 8 = 24. That means 24 ODIs in two years and 12 ODIs in a year and that can be fit Based on league table top 7 countries will qualify for Champions Trophy, eighth nation will be host nation. In World Cup i think up to 20 to 24 teams must play from around the world and from each continent and it is possible only in T20 format. So world cup in T20 format, Champions for ODI with eight teams only and WTC off course for test is th only solution.

[@Ashtrek_yt]

I think, this is pretty much of a good solution; anyhow, ODI matches need to be competitive, that's the only way out.

[@amits4744]

That was good for the game itself, but sadly, money being made from the games was lesser.

[@sarban1653]

T20 doesn't test skills enough. ODI and T20 should stay, but they should instead be 40 overs and 18 overs each. Remove the powerplay nonsense from the sport so it gets more exciting when boundaries are hit. Test cricket is basically a completely different sport that does nothing but hold back cricket's development, it can go to the dustbin. Test cricket makes no money and is only supported on a lifeline by LOIs similar to how the NBA supports the WNBA.

[@Ashtrek_yt]

Test cricket do actually generate decent amount of money, I am not talking about any test match, but the matches involving SENA countries and India and Pakistan. Here's a fact, when any broadcasting company makes a deal with ICC/BCCI/CA or whoever, they make a specific deal on how much test matches must be played because it is the only format that can show you advertisements for 5 days long.

The situation is a bit tricky to understand. The main problem of cricket is it's diversity; there are 3 different formats in International cricket and different franchise cricket in different locations - all are happening in the same time. Like, people of South Africa or West Indies are more interested in Franchise cricket, while English people are more interested in Red ball cricket and ODIs to some extent. Australians love Red Ball cricket. So, in a way, fans are too diverse. In my opinion, it needs to be streamlined first to understand the actual craze for the game.

[@Ashtrek_yt]

But, the final itself was played in a bowler friendly pitch. And, the usage of flat pitches are synonymous with more boundaries and runs, which will hook majority of the people. And, broadcasters will eventually pay more, so in a way, people and broadcasters decide how the game would be played.

[@SwishYT-ld2en]

Not ODI format down but true is cricket is dying

[@Ashtrek_yt]

In my opinion, the game of cricket is not dying. Main problem of this game is, there are so many varieties - Test, ODI, T20 and even the hundred and T10. Understandably, different fans have different taste, so the game need to streamline the games and be specific about the scheduling and the formats.

[@ParasOli25]

2023 Worldcup was the most successful Worldcup ever.

The scheduling and ticketing was a total mess, that's a fact. Basically, BCCI delayed more and more because they wanted to avoid 963 crores of tax and they tried till last moment. When they were unable to do so, then they started to plan for the CWC. It was a disastrous situation, tbh.

No doubt, it's the biggest world cup ever in terms of viewership, but the numbers are itself paradox too. It didn't even create enough hype, so in a way, flop too. And, secondly, I posed a question in the title; not saying that line in a definitive manner.

@@fullofvendetta2444 tbh, I have thought about making this video since the 1st week of World Cup. Since the pandemic, we've been hearing about the drastic decline of ODIs and exponential growth of franchise leagues. And, to recover the losses during the pandemic, the nations started playing more and more matches. So, in a way, people stopped caring about those bilateral matches. Cherry on the top, BCCI completely mismanaged the ticketing and scheduling while trying to evade the tax. Actually, it was a perfect opportunity to showcase what the game can bring, but BCCI killed it in the 1st week itself. And, ICC would have earned almost the same amount of money if India had won the tournament because they had already reached the final, and that too, in an emphatic manner. It still would have been a flop.

[@Ashtrek_yt]

@@fullofvendetta2444 firstly, I am talking about 'International' cricket, especially ODI format, not cricket as a sport because, franchise cricket is the future. Secondly, money matters the most. Kids take up sports out of desperation or passion but ultimately money talks how they shape their career. Now, I'm giving an example. Let's take chess. Suppose, if you play against Carlsen, you'd earn 10,000 USD; but if you play with Vishwanathan, you'd earn 50,000 USD. would you still play with Carlsen despite of the fact that he's the number 1 chess player? No. Same thing happens to international cricket and franchise cricket. I hope you understand.
