1. Board of Control for Cricket In India - $295 Million.
The BCCI is India's richest sporting body and the richest cricket board in the world. Most other boards depend on their matches with India for the largest chunk of their income. BCCI does not depend on the Government of India for its finances.
In 2020, with US$405 million out of US$1534 million India had 26% share in the ICC FTP income disbursed to 10 test playing nations, while ECB received US$139 million as the second highest earner.
In 2020, to revive the financial health of other boards after the global economic decline and the significantly reduced income of most boards due to the COVID-19 pandemic ICC will rejig its FTP to schedule more bilateral matches of others nations with India.

4. Pakistan Cricket Board - $55 Million.
Following the establishment of Pakistan as an independent dominion of the British Empire in 1947, professional and amateur cricket commenced in the same year, seeing as local infrastructure had already been established when the country was part of the British Raj. Cricket matches were arranged informally until 1948, when a Board of Control was formally instituted. Pakistan was admitted to the Imperial Cricket Conference (currently known as International Cricket Council) in July 1952, and has since been a full member, playing Test cricket. The team's first Test series took place in India between October and December 1952.
The PCB also runs its own cricket league which is named as the Pakistan Super League.

10. New Zealand - $9 Million
New Zealand (Māori: Aotearoa [aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It comprises two main landmasses—the North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui) and the South Island (Te Waipounamu)—and around 600 smaller islands, covering a total area of 268,021 square kilometres (103,500 sq mi). New Zealand is about 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the islands of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. The country's varied topography and sharp mountain peaks, including the Southern Alps, owe much to tectonic uplift and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, and its most populous city is Auckland.
