The corresponding numbers for BCB are publicly available.

Revenue of $1.2B takas with a surplus of about 47 million takas.

While the inferred revenue for PCB is higher than that of the BCB, the PCB is cash negative and in debt while the BCB is cash positive.

Draw your own conclusions.
Well the thing is look at that deficit reduction, they cut their deficit by more than half + I dont know about Bangladesh but they PCB is investing in two new stadiums, more cricket zones and with zero cricket and the usual embezzlement here and there I'd take 700 mill deficit happily. Plus we dont have a cash cow in terms of a premier league or play at home so i think those figures make a lot of sense.

Overall BCB is in a much better shape financially courtesy WC2011, Asia Cup. BPL is a whole different story as its budget is likey to be many times more than even BCB's own budget i suppose.

Conclusion: You guys have more money to spend and less people and facilities to spend it on.We have less money to spend, but we are looking at spending more than we have in our infrastructure so thus the deficit.
