BCCI, the world’s richest cricket board, fails to pay players
On the other hand, the position of the BCCI cannot be said to be weak. Officials rightly believe that if next year’s mega-event is hosted by Australia, India will host the first T20 World Cup 2022 and then the 50-over World Cup 2023, which does not seem reasonable.
It is likely that Australia will have to wait for 2 more years.
