BCCI secretary Jay Shah, who also heads the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), is keen on reviving the 'Afro-Asian' project to develop the game in the African continent. The project was first mooted in 2005 by the late Jagmohan Dalmiya but ended prematurely in 2009.
Eyeing a windfall of close to Rs 50,000 crore, the Indian Cricket Board on Tuesday floated the media rights tender for the 2023-2027 IPL seasons. The BCCI will arrange an e-auction for the new bidders for the first time in IPL history and it will commence from June 12, the board's secretary Jay Shah said. "With two new teams, more matches, more engagement, more venues, we are looking to take #TataIPL to newer and greater heights," Shah posted on his Twitter handle.

IPL media rights tender likely next weekMUMBAI: For the third time in 15 years, the coveted media rights for the Indian Premier League (IPL) will go on sale. The BCCI is ready with the Invitation-To-Tender (ITT) for the 2023-27 cycle and is likely to bring it out next week. "Transparency" remains the keyword in the entire process and to ensure the same, the BCCI has gone ahead and decided to conduct an e-auction. BCCI secretary Jay Shah, who is overseeing the entire process, says he has little doubt the game's hottest property anywhere in the world will once again justify its ability to attract top-dollar in the India market, and globally. "Doing our best to acquire the justified value that a brand like IPL warrants is definitely on top of my mind. At the same time, we will also maintain complete transparency and that is one of the reasons why the media rights will be awarded through an e-auction," Shah told TOI this week. "You can gauge the popularity of the league and the confidence of the investors from the interest it generated and the valuation that the two teams attracted".
