Usually, the names on the boundary boards come from businesses in the visitor's country. They will each get fewer tours, but they will get all of the money that accrues from what they do get. Obviously... I've no idea, but it maybe that splitting wouldn't be all bad news, financially.
I guess some will suffer more than others.

The loss of potential profit isn't the same as money being taken out of your account. And now India don't play WI and Pakistan (I think they don't play Zimbabwe or Bangladesh either) so their cricket world keeps shrinking.

Does seem a bit OTT . And their chances of actually getting paid if they win some large sum of damages probably pretty slim.
Sounds like an ambit claim.
Will wait and see.
