The International Cricket Council's (ICC) full members on Wednesday outvoted the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and agreed to introduce a new financial model along with governance changes, essentially rolling back the Big Three system currently in place, reported ESPNcricinfo.
The BCCI was the only member to vote against the financial model and was one of two boards which voted against the new governance model.
The financial model received a 9-1 vote in favour, while changes in the governance structure were passed by an 8-2 margin.
Although the new ICC constitution has a majority vote, it will be approved formally during the annual conference in June 2017.
The BCCI was alone in its opposition to the new finance model. Its office bearers had rejected ICC's settlement offer worth approximately $400 million and demanded $570 million under the earlier arrangement.
The decision to make sweeping changes in the ICC's constitution was initially taken at the council's first board meeting of 2017 in Dubai. The ICC Board had agreed to revise financial distribution, ensuring a more equitable distribution of revenues.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Shaharyar Khan had earlier made it clear that Pakistan had supported the Big Three governance system in 2014 because India had signed a MoU with them that they would play six bilateral series between 2015 and 2023.
The BCCI had profited most from the Big Three governance system as it received the major chunk of the revenues that ICC earned from its events and broadcasting rights between 2015 and 2023.

Bcci is capable enough to defend its position, it should back out from playing champions trophy in England to show that which country is actually the source of revenue for icc.
If India contributes 80% of revenue to fill icc pocket then it has a valid ground to ask for a reasonable share in profit to maintain its sports infrastructure to generate that kind of revenue..

If India contributes almost 80% of revenue generated by icc , then it has a valid reason to ask for a mjaor share in that revenue.
It is in no way fair that a country who has a 80% share in revenue generation gets only 8% in return and other amount is given to others country.

@VARUN Pls back out from all the ICC events. Also don't invite foreign players to play in IPL. We would see how much you can generate by playing your domestic leagues. Indians are giving threats to all the cricket members but they don't know that cricket exits before Indians and Pakistani started their freedom movements. Cricket was played in 19th century between and there were no names of Indian cricket team then. By the way Best of luck for and Indian Cricket council and make sure to include Uganda,Nepal,Bhutan, Mauritius I'm your newly formed cricket league because all other leading cricket countries are not going to participate in your cricket league.

BCCI is nothing but a corporate body running professional cricket. And like any other corporate body, it's for profit.
Good that BCCI get outvoted. Even if it translates into getting less than what it deserves in revenue from the ICC. All the bragging and controlling the ICC with its sheer financial power is unhealthy for long term prospects of cricket. Even in Domestic cricket BCCI has ruled like USA, crushing who resents with it. I wish that BCCI should not become for Cricket what USA is for the world.

Lets Read between the Facts:
"It will be quite appropriate to say that BCCI itself brought the reforms in ICC. First the change came in BCCI through new governing structure. and then the another ex BCCI chief lead the reforms."
1. Shashank Manohar resigned as ICC chairman in March 2017, 10 days later he was requested by all the members to reconsider his decision. And he finally came back as he was the archtect of "new constitution" & "new Revenue sharing model".
2. Besides he has been a staunch supporter of reforms in the BCCI. He is the only person who knows the nerves of the BCCI's.
3. Supreme court intervention to bring in reforms in BCCI has a much stronger influence in reforming the ICC. Reforming BCCI has consequential effects on ICC.
4. BCCI as of now is governed & run by Indian Supreme Court appointed nominees. Who has little knowledge about the functioning & negotiation games between BCCI & International bodies. It was inevitable to have a setback.

I wonder whats all the fuss is about the financial contribution. Cricket was going even without the financial input by India and was going on rather well. The Cricket played was very competitive. I hope the next step ICC should take is to ensure each country plays equal cricket away as they play at home in a year and also get rid of of this slow low dead batting wicket concept.

@VARUN The 80% figure being mentioned here has no accuracy. The projected amounts that BCCI said will be made in previous ICC tournaments were never realized and BCCI still look a hefty number from whatever was actually made. They just manipulated the numbers. Also there is no accurate way which could actually tell you how much revenue a country is actually getting generating
Finally Big3 was a very stupid model based on greed, which went against a cricketer lovers wish for globalization of the game.

Its' a setback to us Indians. N Srinivasan the mastermind of the big three model, was not a popular person in Indi, and the person instrumental to break the existing ICC model was none other than an Indian, Shashank Manohar, so Indians are by and large in support of making things fare. But considering all the parasites, (especially Pakistan, Bangladesh, SL etc countries India helped in their bad times) ganged up against the hands it fed them, its not very well accepted. Almost 10 years it's been not a single country visited Pakistan, Bangladesh does not get invited by major test playing nation is not India's fault. But one thing can be certain of, if India traveled to Pakistan or if Bangladesh was invited for full fledged series in India, the situation for these two countries would changed drastically. So these guys have their own axe to grind and that's understandable but not reasonable as India has it's own considerations for which India can not be faulted.

From an Indian perspective, we know that BCCI is not clean. But 15 years back, since when India became a power in the cricketing nations to be reckoned with it has made huge progress in terms of Infrastructure and facilities which resulted in Indian rise in the performance Index. If I were a non-Indian, I would not be rejoicing with fact that considering the money India churning out for ICC, the role it played to introduce cricket in non playing nation it's not a good omen. How India would deal with it, that's another thing to worry about. So lets wait and watch.

You are calling PCB beggar, well i somewhat agree to your point, We don't have better leadership at PCB otherwise the condition would have been better. But you saying ICC is being run on Indian Money is absolutely absurd. And i will be the most happiest person if India don't come to play ICC trophies and also don't play any series with top nations. India can't dictate terms to others. If you don't like ICC pls opt out of it. Don't like your nose in it if only you have got problem with it.

It's because IPL is a big money making league. But when it will come to pride of any country they would opt out of IPL. Pakistan supported BCCI for big 3 because if BCCI makes money so would PCB by playing against Indian team. But BCCI is ridiculing everybody not just PCB. They have all the rules of ICC in their hand. They do what they want to do. So to make BCCI come to their senses this step was necessary. Even Bangladesh did not support you in this regard.

Now coming to your second point. Pakistan begs with others , yeah thats true , i myself acknowledge that. But we don't have brave leadership at top . And also we have lots of terrorism in our country. So once we would come out of that maybe that will be the best day for the team. But i like the decision taken by ICC in regards with big3.
