The emphasis of the marketing committee was to raise revenue for the ruling body and one of our plans is to have a production house for the BCCI that would generate funds through media rights. |
The global media rights are an integral part of the game as it brings the sport to the people. |
The global media rights tender is intended to streamline the process of match telecasting wherever the Indian team is playing. With the number and quality of matches growing, this streamlining becomes increasingly important. |
The idea of a BCCI channel is still alive and we are also planning an inter-city cricket league in a day-night format. |
The main objective ... is to take the game to the expatriates, who otherwise only get to watch matches on TV. |
There has been pilferage of money. Prima facie there is a case of misappropriation of funds and fraud. |
These Indo-Pak fixtures are going to be an annual affair in places where there is large Indo-Pak population like Chicago, New York etc. |
This has been possible due to a systematic and transparent bidding process initiated by the BCCI. |
This inter-city tournament would be played in the day-night format, which would be frozen in just a few months. The tournament would be licensed (meaning its television rights would be sold). |
This will help it become one of the most prominent portals in the world. |
We are happy to announce Nimbus as the winner of the global media rights and look forward to a successful partnership with them to ensure increased coverage and penetration of the game among the people the world over. |
We are not increasing the number of playing days of the team. |
We got the clearance yesterday (Wednesday) from the government for these matches. |
We have tremendous revenue potential in the game and the board is in a unique position to benefit from it as we create and own the rights to cricket in perpetuity. No one in the country has the kind of property we have. |
We intend to screen the bids for eligibility on the day following the submission of the bids and will select from the eligible bidders the winning bid on the second day after submission of the bids. |
