The Board of Control for Cricket in India is the richest cricket board in the world, which makes a big money throughout the year. The main sources of the earnings of a cricket board are media rights, sponsorship deal, sales of tickets. Take the example of BCCI and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), so they also earn crores from franchise leagues like IPL and PSL. The total assets of BCCI are ₹ 18,760 crore, but Pakistan’s Cricket Board looks like a beggar in front of him. Know how much difference is there in the net worth of both.

About 60 percent of the annual income of BCCI comes from IPL alone, which is the world’s richest cricket league. Because of this, BCCI’s net worth is much higher than other cricket boards in the world. BCCI earns thousands of crores every year from the Indian Premier League broadcasting rights, sponsorships and tickets. It has auctioned the TV and digital rights of the IPL season (2023-27) for ₹ 39,775 crore ($ 5.10 billion).

The BCCI also earns from a favorable Revenue-Sharing model with international tours and ICC. The strong brand appearance of the Indian Board attracts many sponsorships and endorsements, which makes the financial position of the Board of Control for Cricket in India even stronger.

Pakistan Cricket Board has less net worth than Indian board

The projected net worth of Pakistan Cricket Board is just ₹ 458 crore ($ 55 million). The main source of Pakistan Board’s earnings is Pakistan Super League (PSL), but its earnings are much lower than the IPL.

PCB has to depend on the part given by the ICC (International Cricket Council) and ACC (Asian Cricket Council) for its financial needs. This dependence also shows Pakistan’s economic instability, which affects the functioning of the board.

The effect of this financial inequality can also be seen clearly on the salary of the players. While Indian players get the highest salary in the world, even the top players of PSL are not able to earn as much as the average IPL players.

For example, in PSL, a big player like Babar Azam gets around ₹ 1.95 crore ($ 2,20,000), while an anonymous Indian player in IPL also earns much more than this. This huge difference shows the economic strength and influence of the Cricket Board of India and Pakistan.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is currently called the world’s richest cricket board. No cricket board of the world earns more money than BCCI. This is the reason that Indian cricketers also get the most salary worldwide. A recent report has come out about the income of BCCI, which is really surprising. The report states that the BCCI has earned bumper in the last five years.

BCCI has earned Rs 14,627 crore in the last 5 years. Of these, Rs 4,193 crore has come in the last financial year. Thus, BCCI’s bank balance has increased to Rs 20,686 crore. This information has been received from a report.

A report by ‘Cricbuzz’ said that even after paying all the dues to the state units, a huge increase in the general fund was recorded and in 2019 the fund was worth Rs 3,906 crore, which has increased to almost doubled i.e. Rs 7,988 crore in 2024. These figures have been shared with the State Association.

According to the report, the accounting presented in the annual general meeting (AGM) of 2024 said that the Honorary Secretary told the members that since 2019, the cash deposits of BCCI and the amount deposited in the bank have increased from Rs 6,059 crore to Rs 20,686 crore. It said that Rs 6,059 crore was when the state cricket associations were not paid, while Rs 20,686 crore is after paying the dues of the state cricket associations.
