The International Cricket Council (ICC) had confirmed that the ICC events would be distributed through a bidding process till 2023-31, where any country can bid to be the host. Cricbuzz learns there's a fair understanding within the BCCI that the ICC have agreed to its stand and decided to organize only six world tournaments in the next cycle, and do away with the process of bidding to stage those global events.
According to Cricbuzz, the ICC wanted to host eight tournaments by 2023-31, but due to insistence of BCCI they will host six out of eight global tournaments.BCCI’s claim has been backed by the England and Wales Cricket Board(ECB) and Cricket Australia.
India, Australia and England have shared most of the ICC tournaments from 2016 to 2023. Where no big tournament has been organized in countries like Bangladesh, South Africa, West Indies, New Zealand and Pakistan.
Between 2023-2031, the ICC wanted to host eight men’s, eight women’s and eight under-19 World Cups. The hosts of these 24 ICC tournaments were said to be selected through a bidding process. However, it was opposed by the BCCI.
Although, other countries supported the ICC bidding process because it would benefit the weaker parties financially.
The ICC has not yet commented on the matter, but it is expected to withdraw the bidding process. However, their plan was to make countries like America and Africa complementary to countries like India, Australia and England through this process. However, due to restraint, the ICC's plan is not being implemented.
