Why West Indies Cricket Gets Nothing From Its India Tour

Cricket West Indies CEO Chris Dehring has voiced strong opposition to the current financial framework governing international cricket, which leaves visiting teams without a share of revenue from bilateral series. He specifically noted that the Caribbean board earns nothing from the ongoing white-ball matches in India, a series estimated to generate between 20 and 30 million dollars.

Dehring traced the root of this fiscal imbalance to a 1997 ICC vote, where his organization was defeated 9-1 in a decision that abolished traditional touring fees. This shift has contributed to persistent financial instability for the West Indies, which currently accounts for only 5 percent of total ICC revenue compared to India's 38 percent share.

The final T20I of the current tour is scheduled for Saturday in Bengaluru.
