BCCI officials are keen that the International Cricket Council sticks to the `Big Three` model which would let BCCI take a large chunk of ICC`s revenue. However, India`s neighbour, Pakistan, isn`t amused.
Ahead of the Chief Executives Committee (CEC) meeting of the ICC member boards on April 24, Shahryar Khan, chief of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), dismissed the idea. "We were always against the Big Three revenue model.
Pakistan has suffered a lot because of it as India didn`t fulfill the bilateral commitments with us. We will oppose it again if BCCI brings it up for discussion," Khan told TOI from Lahore on Friday (April 21).
Khan said that the ICC board members are going to take a call on that. "As far as my understanding goes, the final constitution could be formally adopted in June only. The upcoming meetings will decide that," Khan added.
Besides Pakistan, there are several other boards who are against the model.
A source said that BCCI`s acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary, who met the Committee of Administrators (CoA) in Mumbai on Friday, was told not to take an extreme position while discussing the revenue model at the ICC meeting.
