International Cricket Council (ICC) Chairman Shashank Manohar has been critical of the 'Big Three' model of 2014, which effectively put India, England and Australia in control of the game's finances and administration. The Indian board (BCCI) unsurprisingly opposed the new proposal, which would see their revenue share decreased. India, who won the last edition in 2013, was the only country not to name its 15-man squad for the June 1-18 tournament. The ICC is expected to make a final decision on the new financial model and governance structure at its ongoing meetings in Dubai. Cricket website ESPNcricinfo reported on Tuesday that Manohar, who is from India, made an improved offer to the BCCI, increasing their share of revenue by about $100 million.
