From cricinfo:

"The "distribution model" forms the bulk of the position paper and recommends setting up a Test Cricket Fund for six of the remaining seven members outside the BCCI-CA-ECB triumvirate. The Full Member board left out of the Fund is Cricket South Africa but the draft available does not specifically mention the omission nor its reason or purpose. The fund is set up in order to ensure that "uneconomical tours" (which do not find their way into newly recommended FTP agreements) do not lead to "no Test cricket being played - or inappropriately too little Test cricket - being played by Full The "distribution model" forms the bulk of the position paper and recommends setting up a Test Cricket Fund for six of the remaining seven members outside the BCCI-CA-ECB triumvirate.

The fund is to be distributed among BCB, ZC, NZC, SLC, PCB and WICB, who will have to report utilisation annually to F&CA. As it is proposed, the sum will begin at a total of $30 million for a revenue level of $2.25 billion and be $90 million at a revenue level of $3.5 billion."

I have no clue whatsoever why CSA was omissioned from the receiving boards list. But I guess that the so called big 3 is trying to put SA out of the scene. Harron Lorgat case? Then it must be a conspiracy and vengence theory.

It states: ''The draft document states that during the last ICC media rights and sponsorship process, the "value contribution" of India was over 80% while the contribution of other Full Members ranged from 0.1% to 5%. There is no supporting evidence of this estimate available in the document, but the working paper states that "calculations have been worked on and negotiated by BCCI, CA and ECB. Agreed principles are sound and breakup between categories appropriate."

On what basis they measured that India's value contribution is 80% and that's why give the chairmanship to India? It's like I am the richest person in the country so give me the presidency! What a joke.
