Cricket West Indies CEO Johnny Grave stated that the ICC's current revenue sharing model is "completely broken" and that the "big three" in world cricket—India, England, and Australia—should take more action to save smaller Test-playing teams. India, the driving force behind the game, takes home nearly 40% of the ICC's net yearly earnings, with a single digit share going to England and Australia. "The revenue-share scheme is utterly flawed. Grave was quoted by ESPNcricinfo as saying, "We have to change the mindset of bilateral cricket if we really want to function as a cricketing community. We are only as strong as the weakest team."
