It is estimated that India alone accounts for nearly 90% of cricket’s worldwide revenues, putting the game’s traditional guardians, England and Australia, in the shade. India has become the most influential country in the sport’s governing body, the International Cricket Council, which has moved its headquarters from London to Dubai, which has no cricketing tradition but is closer to the sport’s new fulcrum in South Asia.
据统计，仅印度一个国家就几乎占全球板球收入的90%, 这使该项运动的传统参与者－英格兰和澳大利亚，大为逊色。印度成为这项运动的管理机构－国际板球理事会中最具影响力的国家，该理事会已经将总部从伦敦搬到了迪拜，虽然迪拜没有板球传统，但是它比较靠近板球运动在南亚的新支点。
