The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is counted among the world’s richest cricket board. The Indian Premier League (IPL) is also a big hand behind this. Recently, a big report is coming out about BCCI’s financial year 2023-24. According to the report, IPL alone has contributed 59 percent to the revenue of the board’s financial year 2023-24. At that time, BCCI secretary was Jai Shah, who changed the board completely and made it rich after assuming the post. The earnings of this cricket board are increasing day by day.
IPL made a big contribution
According to the report of The Hindu Business Line, BCCI earned Rs 9741.7 crore in the financial year 2023-24. Out of this, IPL alone earned Rs 5761 crore. This means that IPL has made a financial contribution of 59%. According to the report, BCCI earned Rs 361 crore from the sale of non-IPL media rights including broadcasting rights of the international tournament.
Not only this, the board earned only Rs 987 crore from interest in the last financial year. During this time, he has received Rs 1,042 crore from the International Cricket Council (ICC) distribution. Not only this, BCCI also helps a lot from organizing a big tournament like Ranji Trophy, Dalip Trophy or CK Naidu Trophy to increase revenue in addition to IPL. The board also benefits greatly from all these domestic tournaments. You can guess this from the fact that the board has a reserve of about 30 thousand crores.
WPL also benefited
BCCI also started the Women’s Premier League (WPL) after the success of IPL. He earned Rs 378 crore from its 2023-24 season. Apart from this, when the Indian team goes to play cricket in other countries, they also earn. The board has earned Rs 361 crore from the tour of the men’s cricket team. Not only this, BCCI earned Rs 400 crore in 2023-24 from other things. This includes advertising and other things. The boards of the rest of the countries are far behind BCCI in terms of earnings.
