BCCI Tops the List as the World’s Richest Cricket Board
The Indian Cricket Control Board (BCCI) has once again clinched the top position as the wealthiest cricket board globally, outshining its counterparts by a significant margin. With a reported net worth of approximately $2.25 billion, the BCCI towers over others, thanks to its lucrative ventures such as the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The IPL, a cricket league that has garnered immense popularity over the years, has played a substantial role in driving BCCI’s earnings to unprecedented heights. The introduction of the Women’s IPL has further augmented BCCI’s revenue streams, solidifying its financial stronghold in the cricketing world.
Following closely behind BCCI is Cricket Australia (CA), securing the second spot on the list of richest cricket boards. With assets nearing $79 million, CA boasts of its own successful league, much like the IPL, contributing significantly to its financial prosperity.
England‘s cricket board, known popularly as the England and Wales Cricket Board, emerges as the third wealthiest on the global stage with assets worth around $59 million. Despite lagging behind BCCI and CA in terms of financial prowess, England’s cricketing landscape remains robust and financially stable.
