ICC net surplus jumps 15 percent to 543 million as costs fall sharply

Revenue dipped, but costs cut delivered a bigger win

The ICC reported a 15 percent rise in net surplus to $543.3 million in 2025, driven primarily by a sharp drop in event costs despite a slight fall in total revenue. Members’ funds nearly doubled, signaling improving financial strength. The sport’s governing body is now gearing up for the next media rights cycle, a key phase for future earnings.
