Champions Trophy

I read this somewhere, but how about moving the Champions Trophy or some other ICC cash grab to countries where cricket is only starting to gain popularity, like Canada or Netherlands.

If they gave out free tickets to the matches, it might increase the popularity of the sport in that country. And the ICC are unlikely to lose money beacuse of the television rights and all that jazz.

I think if the ICC are serious about spreading the game then it should be considered. But what do you guys think?
 
Re: Champions Trophy

It makes sense but then when has the ICC ever had sense?

I'm sure than one event out of however many they have could be used in this way, but sadly the $ signs are all that the ICC see.
 
Re: Champions Trophy

Thats a really good idea, it would get lots more exposure for cricket and would be good because. I dont think the ICC would do it though cos of that little bit of cash lost.. even though they really wouldnt lose any money, good idea though. Hopefully it happens
 
Re: Champions Trophy

This would attract a lot of interest, especially it the tickets are given for free. But then the ICC will have to compensate the host board. I suspect that they would not be ready to do that.

Well, according to the latest news, this year's Champions Trophy has been postponed to 2009. Would have been better to shift it to a different country but the ICC clearly doesn't want to lose any money.
