The BCCI earned a revenue of ₹7,606 crore for the fiscal year 2021–2022, while its spending came to about ₹3,064 crore. Its revenue during 2020–21 was ₹4,735 crore, while the expenses were ₹3,080 crore.

Together with the ICC, the BCCI is putting the ODI World Cup’s updated schedule together. The schedule for the tournament, which will start on October 5, has been released.

The start of the Navaratri festival will coincide with the India vs. Pakistan match, hence BCCI was urged not to hold it on October 15 as originally recommended in the schedule.

Despite the fact that the game will probably be moved to October 14, the location, Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, remains the same.

It was claimed that the BCCI had been requested by the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) to reschedule the Pakistan vs. England game because it would otherwise fall on Kali Puja (November 12).
