The ECB is responsible for the financial direction and commercial exploitation of England cricket. It raises revenue from the proceeds of sales for tickets at one-day internationals and Test matches in England and Wales and shares in revenues when the England team play abroad. The ECB is also responsible for the generation of income from the sale of sponsorship and broadcasting rights, primarily in relation to the England team. The ECB's income in the 2006 calendar year was £77.0 million, down from £78.8 million in 2005. [1] An Ashes year like 2005 would normally represent a peak in a four year income cycle for the ECB. In 2006 the ECB distributed £25.6 million in "fee payments" to the eighteen first class counties, or £1.42 million per team. It also pays certain costs of the domestic cricket programme directly, including the salaries of first class umpires and the cost of temporary floodlights at county matches.
