BCCI News & Updates

I am actually confused as to whether CSK & RR will be back. I thought the teams were bought for 10 years & in any case a complete revamp is due in 2 years?
 
BCCI mulls 'mini-IPL' for Indian players - Times of India
^^^ Probably not as BCCI is keen to keep IPL with 8 teams only to have fix 56 days window in April-May everywhere.
For other teams, they are perhaps planning 2nd division IPL.
 
I was talking about the 2008 deal. The 8 teams were sold for 10 years.
2017 will be last edition before they either renew the deal or go for a fresh auction.

Considering the money involved, I was thinking they will call for fresh bids for 8 teams or so..

That is possible. But I hope BCCI continues with existing teams as some teams have got very good fan following.
 
Can't government carry out BCCI's public functions, asks Supreme Court
"Why can't the public function of BCCI be taken up by parliament?" the two-judge bench, comprising Chief Justice TS Thakur and Justice Ibrahim Kalifulla, asked. "The question is if the activity of organising cricket matches, sending and picking up national team, can be taken up by the parliament.

"Suppose a law by which the Indian team can be selected by Indian parliament."

Sibal also faced some sharp questions from the bench about lack of initiative by BCCI on the development of the game in northeastern states like Manipur and Mizoram, as also about the discrimination in allocation of funds to cricket associations of states like Bihar.

As if govt handled sports bodies like Olympics, Badminton function properly. Besides Parliament itself function badly (except recent months which seems better).
 

Supreme Court bars ministers, bureaucrats from BCCI

The Supreme Court has barred ministers and bureaucrats from holding posts in the country's cricket board (BCCI) as part of administrative reforms in the world's richest national cricket body.
"Nobody above the age of 70 will be office bearer of the BCCI. A person cannot be simultaneously an office-bearer in the state cricket association as well as in the BCCI."

Cosy club’s last stand: BCCI tries desperately to wriggle out of reforms and go back to business as usual

The burden of BCCI’s argument is simple. It accuses the Lodha Committee of trying to “run cricket” in India, as its lawyer Kapil Sibal pithily put it. Its review petition on BCCI vs Cricket Association of Bihar, arguing that the apex court’s order for implementing most of the Lodha Committee reforms owed to a “zeal to purportedly clean up cricket” but was completely contrary to the law, is of a piece with this broad line of resistance. The Supreme Court’s rejection of this petition on October 18 blows this argument out of the water.
BCCI may indeed have had reasons to worry about judicial overreach pushed by public disgust for cricket administrators, but at the end of the day the court’s pronouncements are the law of the land. However, BCCI’s quest for loopholes continues.
