T20 World Cup 2024 Schedule Made Keeping India Prime Time In Mind: West Indies Cricket Chief

Earlier, the West Indies Cricket Board chief Johnny Grave had talked about the need to find the balance between a T20 World Cup schedule that favours India prime-time but is also convenient for the locals. That explains why some matches are starting as early as 10:30 am local time while others are starting in evening.

"I think everyone accepts that the vast majority of revenues for all ICC events comes from one market," Johnny Grave, the West Indes Cricket Board CEO, told Indian Express.

"Therefore it is really important that we find a balance between starting matches at prime time in India and for home fans. We have half the matches early for Star Sports and then we have gone as late as possible so they will start early in the morning in India, so they should still get a decent viewership."

"We as hosts can focus on the local fans attending the evening games and the 10:30 morning games will allow us to get school kids to watch some World Cup cricket for free," he added.
