BCCI will deal only with one party, which is appropriate, for this way we will be able to retain transparency while providing a level playing field for all prospective bidders.

We intend to screen the bids for eligibility on the day following the submission of the bids and will select from the eligible bidders the winning bid on the second day after submission of the bids.

The idea of a BCCI channel is still alive and we are also planning an inter-city cricket league in a day-night format.

This has been possible due to a systematic and transparent bidding process initiated by the BCCI.

With Nimbus Sport's excellent track record and very competitive cost, BCCI has secured for itself and its fans a fantastic level of TV coverage never before seen in India.

It is a landmark deal for BCCI and through this the fans of the Indian team around the world can get original apparels manufactured and distributed through the global network of Nike.
