The wealthiest cricket organisation in the world, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), will be required to abide by the Act if it is approved, signed, and put into effect. The National Sports Governance Bill, which the Indian government is preparing to implement, will be presented to the parliament on Wednesday, July 23.
The National Sports Governance Bill: What is it?
The bill’s primary goals are to preserve, run, and strengthen athletic operations across the nation. It will also examine term-wise member elections, hold federations accountable, and guarantee the welfare of athletes within the country’s borders. Therefore, after the measure is passed, the Board of Control for Cricket in India will also have to abide with the relevant law.
According to a source cited in an NDTV Sports story, “Once this bill becomes an act, the Board of Control for Cricket in India will have to comply with the law of the land, like all National federations.”
Since cricket has been recognised to be an Olympic sport, the BCCI’s influence in the Indian sports world has grown significantly. In 2028, it will make its second appearance at the prestigious quadrennial Los Angeles Olympics. Three years from now, world champions India are practically guaranteed to be among the players in the shortest version of cricket, known as T20I.
Roger Binny, President of the BCCI, must resign
More specifically, Roger Binny, the president of the Indian cricket board, recently turned 70 and is therefore no longer qualified to serve in that capacity. The BCCI is therefore searching for a new name to handle matters following Binny’s resignation. During this period, vice president Rajeev Shukla can serve as the BCCI’s interim president. We’re currently waiting on further information.
