- On Wednesday, the National Sports Governance Bill will be introduced in Parliament, and the sports ministry source confirmed that the Board of Control for Cricket in India will come under the Bill, impacting its governance autonomy.
- The long-awaited legislation seeks to institutionalise a framework for sports governance, aiming for transparency, accountability, and dispute reduction across NSFs including the BCCI.
