‘Series in India brings nothing to Windies’: Cricket’s revenue model sparks debate

Cricket West Indies CEO Chris Dehring criticised the bilateral revenue model, saying the board earns nothing when the team tours India, despite series potentially generating $20–30 million. He traced the problem to a 1997 ICC decision allowing hosts to retain broadcasting revenue. Dehring blamed the system for West Indies’ financial struggles, which have led to player pay cuts and suspended domestic competitions.
