March 13, 2019

The Madras High Court reserved its verdict on a PIL seeking a direction to the Centre to restrain the BCCI from claiming to be official representatives of the country during international matches. It also urged the court to order the Union sports Ministry to create a body of its own and register it with the International Cricket Council.

About: 

  • Status: The BCCI is registered as a society under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975.
