The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has demanded clarity from the International Cricket Council (ICC) over the leaked financial model for the 2024-27 cycle.

As reported by ESPNCricinfo, BCCI is set to earn 38.5% of the total revenue. England and Australia would pocket 6.89% and 6.25% respectively. Pakistan stands to earn 5.75% of the ICC's projected earnings.

'We are insisting that the ICC should tell us how these figures were arrived at,' PCB chairman Najam Sethi told Reuters from London.

'We are not happy with the situation as it stands. Come June, when the board is expected to approve the financial model, unless these details are provided to us, we are not going to approve it,' Sethi added.

The revenue-sharing model is expected to be voted for validation in the next ICC board meeting in June.

However, the PCB chief acknowledged the fact that in principle, India should get more and said that there was no doubt about that. 

But 'how was this table being developed?' Sethi questioned.
