BCCI and Dream11 are on a three-year deal.<\/p>\n

(BCCI)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is in full support of the central government\u2019s two new bills \u2014 the National Sports Governance Law, 2025 and Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025 (which was passed in Lok Sabha on Wednesday, but is yet to become a law) \u2014 and will follow them in \u2018true letter and spirit\u2019, according to secretary Devajit Saikia.<\/p>\n

Both regulations could have a significant impact on the board and the Indian cricket teams. To start with, the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill is calling for a blanket ban on all real-money gaming platforms and their promoters. That will include Dream11, the official shirt sponsor of the BCCI.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce the act comes into force, we will look into it, examine it and if it\u2019s permissible, then we will take sponsorship (from online betting and gaming companies), if it\u2019s not permissible, we\u2019ll not do anything,” Saikia told The Times of India <\/em>about the latter. \u201cTake the example of cigarettes and liquor. Has the BCCI taken any sponsorship from the cigarettes and liquor companies once taking sponsorship from these kinds of companies was banned? So, whatever is permissible in the laws in force in our country, we will do that only. The BCCI will follow every policy of the country which is framed by the central government,” he added.<\/p>\n

Dream11 is reportedly paying the BCCI Rs 358 crore for the rights from July 2023 to March 2026.<\/p>\n

The National Sports Governance Law, 2025, made the government\u2019s stance on multi-national cricket between India and Pakistan formal, allowing the BCCI to participate and play against the Men in Green in the 2025 Asia Cup in September. Under it, bilateral cricket between India and Pakistan remains outlawed, with cricketers from across the border not allowed to step into India unless it\u2019s for a multi-nation tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe central government has taken the interest of the players, the teams and also, the events that are going to be hosted by our country in the future. So, all these things are very nicely taken by the government of India and we fully endorse the view expressed by the central government and we will 100% abide by the policy framed by the central government,” Saikia added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe BCCI will not go a single inch against the government\u2019s policy. We will fully abide by all policies of the central government, whether it is participating in an international sporting event or regarding sponsorship. We will follow everything in true letter and spirit,” he said.<\/p>\n
