ECB faces ₹627-crore loss in 2027 due to India tour absence, ICC move

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) could suffer losses of up to ₹627 crore in 2027 despite hosting Australia for the Ashes, The Guardian reported. The projected deficit is linked to absence of an India home series and the ICC withholding part of its broadcast payments. Notably, ten of England's 18 first-class counties reported losses in their latest accounts.
