Hosting the T20 World Cup 2024 in USA: ICC suffered a loss of Rs 167 Crore- Big Claim by a Report

Reports claim that the International Cricket Council suffered loss of around USD 20 million 9RS 167 crore) for hosting the T20 World Cup games in the USA. The report claimed that it will be one of the major topics of discussion during the ICC Annual Conference. Though the topic is not a part of the nine-point agenda of the AGM, the report said that it will be discussed as a “post-event report”. A major part of the tournament was hosted in USA. The much-hyped India vs Pakistan was also held in New York.

Another major topic that will be in discussion during the AGM is BCCI secretary Jay Shah replacing Grey Barclay as the ICC chairman. According to a report, an ICC source said that one of the main areas of interest for everyone at the ICC is when Shah takes over the control of the world body.

“It is not about how but when, as he still has one year left as BCCI secretary before his cooling off period in Indian board starts in 2025 as per constitution. However, if he has to take over in 2025, then Barclay can’t complete his third term of two years from December 2024 to December 2026,” the ICC source said.

“There is a school of thought that what if ICC’s chairmanship term changes from three terms of two years each to two terms of three years, so the cumulative term can remain six years.”

If Barclay’s current term becomes three years, then Shah can complete his six years as BCCI secretary. he can then take over as ICC chairman in 2025 for three years. Then, in 2028, he can come back to take over as board president.
