BCCI To Lock In Broadcast Deal By August-End Before Series Against Australia; Afghanistan ODIs Moved To January
BCCI secretary Jay Shah said on Friday the media rights deal for the broadcast of cricket matches involving India for the 2023-2027 cycle will be in place by August-end. The deal, he said, will be locked in before the proposed three-match ODI series against Australia at home in September. The deal with Star Sports, which began in 2018, ended in March this year. "Media rights deal will be done by August end," Shah told media in Mumbai on Friday. India will play three ODIs against Australia before the World Cup, and after the mega-event they will play five T20Is against the Kangaroos.
