West Indies CEO Criticizes Bilateral Cricket Revenue Model Favoring Host Nations
Cricket West Indies CEO Chris Dehring criticized the current bilateral cricket financial model, introduced in 1997, which allows host nations to retain all revenue from series. He highlighted that West Indies receives no share from the ongoing India series, despite its estimated $20-30 million value. Dehring linked this model to the financial struggles and decline of West Indies cricket, noting that previously touring fees helped sustain the team. The issue underscores revenue disparities between cricket boards, particularly with India.
