In the wake of the swift conclusion of the primary Test between Australia and the West Indies, Todd Greenberg, the CEO of the Australian Cricketers’ Association (ACA), has known as on the International Cricket Council (ICC) to redirect funds for Test cricket.

Waving away considerations about cricket’s monetary well being, Greenberg pinpoints the true downside, not an absence of cash, however a wonky system for sharing it out and deciding the place it lands.

“There’s enough money in cricket, the issue isn’t lack of funds. The problem is how we use it,” he mentioned.

“Whether it’s about different cricket formats or on a global scale in specific nations, I believe funds are abundant in cricket. The ICC’s global revenue is at its highest point in the history of the game, indicating that the sport is in an excellent position,” he added.

Greenberg underscores the essential want to allocate funds judiciously, not just for cricket powerhouses like India, England, and Australia but in addition for different nations.

“We must allocate funds wisely to sustain red-ball and Test cricket globally, ensuring its continuity not just in major nations like India, England, and Australia but also in places like Pakistan, South Africa, West Indies, Sri Lanka, and beyond, securing the future for generations to come,” he concluded.
