The International Cricket Council (ICC) has seen a 36% drop in net surplus for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, with revenue falling by 7% to $432 million. The ICC earns the majority of its revenue from media rights and sponsorships, with approximately 80% of its revenues coming from the Indian market.
ICC, in a media release, said, "Disney Star will be the home of all ICC cricket in India for the next four years having won the TV and digital rights to both men's and women's global events through to the end of 2027."
The broadcaster will pay 92 per cent more in rupee terms to retain the rights, where viewership across matches is completely linked to India's performance.
After the IPL, there is a lot of interest in how much the International Cricket Council rights will fetch. Here's how the competition stacks up against key bidders.
