Image Source: telegu360.com[/caption]Internet Desk: The BCCI General body on Sunday discussed about late former board president Jagmohan Dalmiya’s proposed model to make up the loss which the board have faced due to a huge cut of revenue share by ICC.
Though the parent body of world cricket is willing to pay an additional $100 million to the already earmarked $293 million. But it is still a huge reduction from the $573 million which BCCI was getting earlier.
It is learnt that Dalmiya had proposed a model in 2015 on raking in profits using the window available for the now scrapped Champions League T20.
"The Champions League T20 used to be held in September. Now the whole window is available to BCCI. Dalmiya had then proposed that every September we play a bilateral series at home -- Tests or limited-overs matches. The costs would be covered from broadcasters money," a state unit official told PTI on condition of anonymity.
He further explained how a projected loss of Rs 1000 Crore could be covered in the next five years.
"Right now BCCI gets Rs 43 crore approximately for playing one international match (Tests/ODIs/T20s). If every September, we play even a short series -- say 3 ODIs and 2 T20 Internationals -- you end up making Rs 215 crore from broadcast deal.
"Multiply it by five years and you get Rs 1075 crore. Why fight with ICC when we can ourselves generate revenue?" the official said.
In fact, it was Rajeev Shukla, who reminded the BCCI members about how Dalmiya used to sort out through dialogue rather than confrontation.
"We must remember past presidents like Mr Jagmohan Dalmiya sorted problems through dialogue and not confrontation," Shukla said.
