Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is set to get 4.46 per cent of the International Cricket Council (ICC)'s $600-million annual earnings in the proposed model for the 2024-27 cycle.

ESPNcricinfo reports that the ICC's next revenue-distribution model shows that the so-called 'Big Three' - India, England and Australia - is set to become the Big One.

India will receive 38.5 per cent of the money ($231-million), with England and Australia getting 6.89 per cent ($41.33-million) and 6.25 per cent ($37.53-million) respectively. Pakistan is the only other full member expected to earn more than $30-million.

The 194 associate nations will get just 11.19 per cent of the projected pool, which is half of what they got until 2015.

The overall annual figure of $600-million is based on the estimated earnings of the ICC - over $3.2-billion - over the next four years from the sale of its media rights alone.

The vast majority of that amount comes from the Indian market, where Disney Star paid just over $3-billion for the rights.

The earnings of the remaining eight Full Members are below 5 per cent. Cricket South Africa is set to get just 4.37 per cent.
