The BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India), the richest cricket board in the world, remains in a financially strong position despite the exit of Dream11 and a reduction in revenue from the ICC (International Cricket Council), according to Cricbuzz. Dream11 was the lead sponsor for Team India for two years, with the deal starting in 2023. The Indian cricket board had suspended its partnership with Dream11 after the Online Gaming Bill was introduced earlier this year. The BCCI said that it made up for all the deficit from Dream11’s exit and also a dip in revenue from the ICC by securing deals with Apollo and Adidas, which is India’s kit sponsor. “Notwithstanding the withdrawal of sponsors such as Dream11 and other entities affected by recent legislative changes, BCCI had successfully secured a new jersey sponsorship at a higher valuation for another two-and-a-half-year cycle,” a note with the Apex Council of the BCCI, read as per Cricbuzz.
