BCB to get $10m from ICC
The International Cricket Council (ICC) will pay seven full-member boards including the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) USD 10 million each over the next eight years as part of the Test Cricket Fund announced last year when the Big Three -- Board of Control for Cricket in India, England and Wales Cricket Board and Cricket Australia -- had gained control over ICC.
Seven full-member boards will receive USD 1.25 million each annually, which is less than the figure of 1.6 million dollars announced by ECB president and ICC executive committee member Giles Clarke in February 2014.
The Test fund is aimed to "encourage and support Test match cricket" outside the Big Three nations.
The first payment of USD 600,000 will be disbursed in early January.
