Navigating the Pandemic Challenge
Much like the entire sporting world, the BCCI navigated the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in a significant dip in revenue during the 2021-22 season. Treasurer Ashish Shelar attributed this downturn to the pandemic, stating, “This is to bring to your notice that due to Covid-19, the cricketing season in 21-22 was cut down to only three tournaments. The 2020-21 domestic season was in full force except for a few junior tournaments, such as U16, etc. However, the year 2022-23 brought back all the hopes and confidence to conduct the entire domestic season with enthusiasm.”
