suspended the BCCI website since the payment for renewal had not been processed.
Website registrars register.com and namejet.com had put the domain name up for public bidding, receiving seven bids with the highest of USD 270.
The domain was valid from 2-2-2006 to 2-2-2019. The updation date however happened to be February 3, 2018. The board's website was dysfunctional till Sunday evening when the senior national men's team was playing the second ODI against South Africa at the Centurion.
