BCCI’s Lollipop to the IOC - Turning Cricket into a Global Sport

Cricket, a sport with a staggering fan base of 2.5 billion people worldwide (According to Sport Pledge) is making significant strides towards Olympic inclusion. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has been actively pushing for cricket's inclusion in the Olympic Games, with the ambition to debut at the LA28 Games. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), led by Jay Shah, has played a pivotal role in this endeavor. The Sportwiz explores the journey of cricket towards becoming a global sport, driven by the aspirations of the ICC and the strategic efforts of the BCCI.

Cricket has been making notable appearances in various multi-sport events, such as the Birmingham Commonwealth Games in 2022 and the Asian Games in 2010, 2014, and the upcoming 2023 edition in Hangzhou, Even this years African Games hosted in Ghana will consist of cricket where it will be played in the T20 format. These inclusions highlight the growing recognition and acceptance of cricket as a global sport.

The question arises: Does the Olympics need cricket, or does cricket need the Olympics? Cricket's immense popularity, with a fan base of 2.5 billion people and its status as the second most-watched sport globally, demonstrates the sport's strength and appeal. However, Olympic inclusion would provide an unparalleled platform for cricket to reach new audiences and further boost its global recognition.

The ICC's bid for Olympic inclusion emphasized the massive viewership cricket attracts. The 2022 T20 World Cup garnered a staggering 1.2 billion unique viewers globally. Additionally, the 2020 Women's World Cup saw 89 million viewers tuning in, showcasing the increasing popularity of women's cricket. These statistics exemplify cricket's potential as a major draw for broadcasters, sponsors, and fans alike.

India's significance as a cricket powerhouse cannot be overlooked. The country accounts for a substantial portion of cricket's global viewership, with 76% of the 113.5 million viewing hours recorded during major tournaments coming from India. The BCCI, backed by India's massive cricket market, has offered the International Olympic Committee (IOC) a chance to tap into this unique viewership, potentially elevating the Olympic Games' viewership in the Indian subcontinent.

The BCCI's main revenue stream, broadcasting rights, presents a compelling proposition for the IOC. Currently held by JIO and Viacom 18 for $31 million, these rights contribute to the ongoing profits of the Olympics. If cricket is included in the Olympics, the ICC estimates potential revenue of $130-260 million. These figures highlight the financial gains that could be achieved through cricket's Olympic participation.

The number $31 million USD is larger than the previous years in terms of Olympics in India but if we compare it to a similar number showcasing the money that’s involved in cricket, in the next financial cycle of the BCCI the Pakistan Cricket board ( PCB ) who hold a share of 5.75% is approximately valued at $34.5 million USD.

Cricket's economic value has witnessed a remarkable surge, as evidenced by the 300% increase in media rights value for ICC and IPL. The media rights for ICC and IPL soared from ₹16,347 crores to a staggering ₹48,390 crores. This exponential growth further solidifies cricket's position as a lucrative sporting asset.

With the Indian Premier League (IPL) now ranked as the second most valued sporting league globally, cricket's future looks promising. The IPL's substantial viewership of 380 million domestic TV viewers in the 2021 season and cumulative viewership of 383 billion minutes for the 2020 campaign across TV and digital platforms indicate cricket's enormous potential according to Jay Shah. As cricket continues to captivate audiences, its inclusion in the Olympics could propel the sport to new heights.

The bid to include cricket in the Olympics is anticipated to be decided in the final session of the IOC, scheduled to take place in Mumbai in October. Brisbane 2032 Olympics presents a realistic opportunity for cricket's inclusion, given Australia's cricketing heritage. Surprisingly, Los Angeles may also be a potential host, thanks to the approval of the bid by former Mayor Eric Garcetti, now the US Ambassador to India, fostering stronger relations between India and the USA.

Cricket's journey towards becoming a global sport is gaining momentum, with the ICC and BCCI leading the way. The sport's immense viewership, economic value, and potential for growth make it an attractive addition to the Olympic Games. As the IOC contemplates cricket's inclusion, the world awaits a decision that could redefine the sport and pave the way for a future where cricket becomes truly global.

🔎 ABOUT THIS PROJECT

===============================

Since 2020 we have been working with SeaForester to restore kelp forests in Portugal. These underwater forests are astonishing havens for marine life which also improve water quality and sequester carbon. Unfortunately, large areas of kelp have disappeared from the coast of Portugal but reverting this trend has been difficult. One of the challenges is that restoration efforts tend to require extensive diving which quickly becomes costly and time-consuming. A new technique called “green gravel” has been developed to address this challenge and make large scale marine reforestation possible. It involves growing kelp attached to pebbles in a lab before deploying them at suitable locations in the ocean. For this project, we are building a kelp nursery that will allow us to test this method on a larger scale.

Choosing the best experts and supporting them [ad_2] What would you consider some of your achievements at BCCI? As BCCI secretary, one of my main achievements was strengthening the National Cricket Academy by investing over Rs 250 crore. Holding the 2020 IPL in UAE during the pandemic was also a significant achievement. We demonstrated what BCCI could achieve by creating an isolation bubble for the tournament. Additionally, changing the IPL broadcasting bidding process and increasing revenue through ICC were key accomplishments. To me, one of your greatest achievements is your encouragement to women's cricket. When I initiated the Women's Premier League (WPL), it was met with some resistance. By highlighting that 51% of IPL viewership was female, we were able to draw attention to the importance of women's cricket. Pay parity was also introduced to encourage female participation. These efforts have had a positive impact on women's cricket, as evidenced by the ICC's decision to announce pay parity in prize money for the Women's World Cup. What's next for Indian cricket? Looking ahead, I am optimistic about the Indian men's cricket team's performance in the upcoming T20 World Cup. With a good balance between form and experience, I believe the squad has the potential to win the tournament. How do you see the current form of the T20 team? The current T20 team is well-balanced in terms of both form and experience. While IPL performance is important, overseas experience is also a critical factor in the selection process according to the selectors.

Which teams, according to you, will be strong contenders at the T20 World Cup? India, Australia, New Zealand, and West Indies are considered strong contenders for the T20 World Cup due to their prowess in the T20 format. It is the second time that India is ranked No. 1 in all three formats (Tests, ODI, and T20I). What is your role in this achievement? As BCCI secretary, my role is to choose the best experts and support them in their cricketing decisions. By appointing individuals like VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid to key positions, I am able to ensure that the team is guided by knowledgeable individuals who can drive success. How do you divide responsibilities between Roger Binny (BCCI president) and yourself? While Roger Binny oversees cricketing decisions, I focus on administration and finance matters within BCCI. Collaboration is key, and we work together transparently to ensure all aspects of the organization run smoothly. How does BCCI spot talent? It has done some great work in bringing to the fore talents like Yashaswi Jaiswal. BCCI empowers state associations to identify and nurture talent through guidelines and infrastructure support. Talents like Yashaswi Jaiswal and Rinku Singh were identified as potential prospects and trained at the National Cricket Academy. With a pool of 50 players, BCCI ensures readiness for bilateral cricket with various countries. I am sure you have heard the criticism of the impact player rule in the IPL this year. The impact player rule in the IPL is viewed as a test case, with consultations ongoing with players, franchisees, and stakeholders. The rule aims to make matches more interesting and provide more opportunities for Indian players. Feedback from consultations will guide any necessary changes to the rule. How about the batting-friendly pitches in IPL? Even Sunil Gavaskar commented they are too one-sided. In response to concerns about batting-friendly pitches in the IPL, it is noted that pitches are managed transparently by BCCI's central curator. While some matches may showcase high-scoring games, the overall quality of pitches is maintained to ensure fair competition. Is there any other innovation you have introduced for the IPL? New innovations in the IPL, such as the 'smart' replay feature for umpiring decisions and the introduction of fast bowling insurance clauses in player contracts, have improved the efficiency and player welfare in the tournament. Mega auctions, transparent bidding processes, and revenue distribution strategies have also been introduced to enhance the league experience. What do you do with all the money BCCI gets? The majority of BCCI's revenues are invested in state associations to improve infrastructure, grassroots programs, and player development across the country. Media rights, sponsorships, and franchise fees contribute to the revenue stream, with a significant portion allocated to player payments, infrastructure development, and grassroots cricket initiatives. Do you enjoy other sports too? Tennis and football are also sports of interest to me. Rafa Nadal is my favorite tennis player, particularly on clay courts. Who are your three favorite cricket icons of all time? Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, and MS Dhoni are among my favorite cricket icons of all time. From the current players, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Hardik Pandya also earn my admiration. Which is your favorite IPL team? As BCCI secretary, maintaining neutrality is essential. I appreciate all IPL teams for their unique styles and contributions to the league's success. Your favorite cricket stadium? The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad holds a special place as my favorite cricket stadium. Its size and facilities, along with the short construction timeline, make it an impressive venue. What is your management mantra? My management mantra revolves around placing the right individuals in cricketing roles and ensuring financial transparency. Inspired by Swami Vivekananda's

words, 'Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is achieved', I strive for excellence in leadership and decision-making.

With its razzmatazz, glamour, and big business, the IPL has been able to create a loyal fan following across the globe. After being postponed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the IPL is back in 2023 with a bang, with rivalries and more business opportunities than ever before.

The IPL was first introduced in 2008 by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Since then, it has grown by leaps and bounds to become one of the biggest events in the cricketing world. In its first season, the league consisted of eight teams representing different cities in India, each owned by a franchise. Over the years, the league has expanded to include ten teams, with two new teams, Ahmedabad and Lucknow, joining in 2022.

The IPL has been successful not just because of its cricketing excellence but also due to its unique business model. The league is based on the franchise system, where each team is owned by a private company or individual. The franchisees invest heavily in their teams, buying players, and creating an atmosphere of glitz and glamour around the league. The league has become a massive money-spinner, with teams earning millions of dollars in sponsorship and advertising revenue.

The IPL is not just about cricket. It is also a platform for big business. With a huge fan following across the world, the IPL provides companies with an opportunity to advertise their products to a vast audience.

With media rights sold for over INR 48,000 Crores (US$6.5 billion), the central pool of IPL revenues has increased more than 2.5 times for the 2023 to 2027 cycle.

The rivalry between teams in the IPL is another factor that makes the league so exciting. Each team represents a different city in India, and the players are selected from across the globe. This creates a unique mix of talent, culture, and identity that fans can relate to. The players are not just playing for their teams; they are representing the cities they come from. The rivalry between teams is not just about winning matches; it is also about representing their cities with pride.

The IPL has also created a platform for young cricketers to showcase their talent. The league has given many young players a chance to play alongside some of the biggest names in cricket. This has not only helped them develop their skills but also given them exposure to a global audience. Many young players who have performed well in the IPL have gone on to represent their national teams at the highest level.

In conclusion, the Indian Premier League is a unique sporting event that has captured the imagination of cricket fans across the globe. With its razzmatazz, glamour, and big business, the IPL has become a massive money-spinner for franchise owners and businesses alike. The league has created a platform for young cricketers to showcase their talent and given fans a chance to support their cities with pride. With the league back in action in 2021, cricket fans can look forward to another season of exciting cricket and fierce rivalries.

Join Now ALSO READ: Explained: How Hardik Pandya returned to Mumbai Indians after Gujarat Titans retained Rohit's deputy for IPL 2024 Hitman eraRohit's tenure as the captain of the Mumbai Paltan has been nothing short of extraordinary. Alongside legendary MS Dhoni, Rohit is the joint-most-successful captain in IPL's history. Even after Dhoni relinquished captaincy in international cricket, the veteran gloveman continued to lead Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL. Rohit, who turned 36 in April, guided Virat Kohli-starrer Team India to the final of the One Day International (ODI) World Cup 2023. Nicknamed the Hitman, the senior batter also powered Team India to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup last year. What's next for Rohit?Embracing the twilight phase of his illustrious career, Rohit last played a T20I game for the 2006 world champions at the World Cup 2022 in Australia. Averaging just 19.33, Rohit scored 116 runs in six games of the T20 World Cup. The India captain only registered a single half-century in the ICC event last year. A month after India's exit from the 2023 World Cup, Rohit is yet to clear the air about his T20I future. The 36-year-old will return to lead India in the South Africa Test series. The Indian skipper is rested for the entire white-ball leg of the South Africa tour. Speculation is also rife that the Hitman has already played his final T20I game for the Asian giants. Change of guard imminentLeading India in the absence of Rohit following his IPL success with GT, Pandya is tipped to succeed the veteran opener as the next white-ball captain of the national team. Pandya has been India's T20I captain in 13 of its last 25 games. Thus, MI also opted to break the bank for the former GT skipper, who is already a frontrunner to replace Rohit in the international arena. With Mumbai also identifying Pandya as Rohit's successor, the change in captaincy will ensure a smooth transition at MI. Numbers don't lieOne of the leading run-getters in the history of T20 cricket, Rohit capped off his worst IPL season as a batter in 2022. For the first time since his IPL debut in 2008, Rohit failed to score a single half-century in the 2022 season. The ex-MI skipper scored 268 runs from 14 innings and averaged 19.14 at IPL 2022. MI finished 10th in the 10-team tournament at IPL 2022. The same season saw GT finishing as table-toppers with Pandya making his IPL captaincy debut. Rohit's MI made it to the IPL playoffs last season. However, Rohit only amassed 332 runs in 16 games at IPL 2023. The former Mumbai Indians finished behind the likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Cameron Green, and Tilak Verma in the MI batting charts. In 158 matches as captain, Rohit won 87 and lost 67 at Mumbai Indians. Rohit will look to regain top form by playing as a pure batter for MI in the T20 World Cup year. A successful season at MI will strengthen his captaincy claim at Team India. [ad_2] Source link

Mumbai Indians Name Hardik Pandya as Captain, Fans Express Disappointment

In a surprising turn of events, the Mumbai Indians (MI) franchise has chosen Hardik Pandya as the new captain, displacing the longstanding and successful captaincy of Rohit Sharma. This decision has stirred disappointment among fans, who took to social media to express their sentiments about the unexpected leadership change. Rohit Sharma, who took over the captaincy in 2013, led MI to an impressive five IPL titles in the last decade, solidifying his status as one of the most successful captains in the tournament alongside MS Dhoni of the Chennai Super Kings. The franchise released a statement on Friday, citing this shift in leadership as part of their strategic planning and extended gratitude to Rohit for his remarkable service to the team.

Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings share the distinction of being the most successful IPL franchises, both boasting five titles each. Rohit Sharma, fresh from leading India to the ODI World Cup final, had captained MI to victories in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020. Meanwhile, the responsibility now falls on Hardik Pandya's shoulders to fill the void left by Rohit's departure. This comes after Hardik's stint with Gujarat Titans in 2022, where he not only guided the team to victory in their debut season but also led them to the final last year, facing defeat against CSK at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

The official statement from Mumbai Indians emphasized that this change in leadership is a part of their future planning. It acknowledged Rohit Sharma's exceptional contributions to the franchise while signaling a new chapter under Hardik's captaincy. The decision underscores the challenges ahead for Pandya, stepping into the shoes of a captain who secured five IPL titles for MI. It remains to be seen how fans, players, and the cricketing community at large will respond to this unexpected transition as the franchise gears up for the upcoming IPL season.

Hardik Pandya will play for the Mumbai Indians

As of right now, neither team has officially announced the deal, but it will be the largest player transaction in IPL history.

For the forthcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season, star all-arounder Hardik Pandya is expected to part ways with his present squad, the Gujarat Titans (GT), and rejoin his old team, the Mumbai Indians, according to news sources

The 30-year-old player’s salary of Rs 15 crore and an unknown transfer fee to the Titans are the only terms of the all-cash transaction. Hardik might receive as much as 50% of the transfer money, per to news report.

The transaction will be regarded as the largest player trade in IPL history if it is executed successfully. Neither franchise has officially announced it as of yet.

In addition to leading the Gujarat-based team to victory in the 2022 IPL season, the all-around player was named “Player of the Match” in the match’s decisive victory over the Rajasthan Royals.

GT secured their spot in the IPL final for the second time in their first two seasons during the previous IPL season. They were runners-up in 2023, though, after losing to the Chennai Super Kings.

After Ravichandran Ashwin moved from Punjab Kings to Delhi Capitals, the 30-year-old will be the third captain to be swapped if the deal is completed. The second occasion occurred in 2020 when Ajinkya Rahane was traded by the Rajasthan Royals to the Capitals.

It was during the 2015 season that Hardik debuted. After that, he participated in 123 matches during which he took 53 wickets and amassed 2,309 runs with a strike percentage of 139.89.
