BCCI

The Central Information Commission on Monday said the Board of Control for Cricket (BCCI) in India is not a "public authority" under the RTI Act as it is neither owned, controlled nor substantially financed by the government. The Commission dismissed an appeal seeking information regarding the provisions and authority under which BCCI represents India and selects players for national and international cricket tournaments. The CIC said BCCI is a private autonomous body registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act and was not established by the Constitution, Parliament, state legislature or through a government notification. "The BCCI cannot be classified as a 'Public Authority' within the meaning of Section 2(h) of the RTI Act and the provisions of the Act are therefore inapplicable to it in the facts and circumstances of the present case," Information Commissioner P R Ramesh said in his order.

One of the biggest concerns raised in the advisory involved unauthorised guests visiting player and staff hotel rooms without informing the team manager.

Former India captain and Cricket Association of Bengal President Sourav Ganguly would love to host as many Tests as possible at the Eden Gardens but he is also "happy" to see the traditional format reach other venues like Guwahati and Ranchi. Unveiling Team India's home season for 2026-27, the BCCI last week left out traditional venues like Kolkata and Mumbai from the marquee Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, scheduling matches in Nagpur, Chennai, Guwahati, Ranchi and Ahmedabad from January 21 to February 25 next year. Reacting to the move, Ganguly said Eden Gardens has got its fair share of games. "It's always great to have big Test matches back at Eden Gardens. As the president of the CAB and being a former player, I would like to host Test matches here, but we got the Test against South Africa, then there were T20 World Cup games and the Indian Premier League fixtures," Ganguly said on the sidelines of the book launch 'Miracle At Eden' by Sportstar.

Mithali Raj said her dream of seeing Indian cricket dominate the global stage is finally becoming a reality with the men's, women's and junior teams winning major world titles in recent years. In the past couple of years, the Indian men's side ended over a decade-long title drought by winning the 2024 T20 World Cup while the women's team followed it up by clinching their maiden ICC trophy-- the ODI World Cup crown last year. India's dominance extended to the junior circuit as well, with the under-19 teams also lifting world titles in recent years, reinforcing the country's status as the powerhouse. "For the longest time, I wanted Indian cricket to dominate and the time has come," Mithali said at the BCCI Naman awards. "The last two-three years, Indian cricket -- men, women and the under-19 girls or boys, they've been doing immensely well. It's a proud moment as a former cricketer to see the growth of Indian cricket." Mithali, along with former players Rahul Dravid and Roger Binny,

According to the guidelines, teams will not be allowed to train on nets or practice pitches that were previously used by another franchise during their allocated practice session.
