He has greeted Team India for tomorrow’s match.

BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia sent wishes to Team India for tomorrow’s match as a secretary in a conversation with Aaj Tak. At the same time, he also hoped that the Indian team will take place with full enthusiasm.

Why the match is to play

Devjit Saikia said, “I am confident that Indian players will come down with full force to win. Doing this will be a befitting reply to the events that we do not want to remember. India is playing with a country with whom our relationships are not good, but playing in multi-hold tournaments is a policy of the Government of India. That is why we cannot deny these matches.”

A few weeks ago, the Government of India implemented a new policy after playing with Pakistan. By mentioning the same, former Sports Minister Anurag Thakur has also said that it becomes mandatory to play Team India in multilateral tournaments like Asia Cup or World Cup. By doing this, India would have to withdraw the name from the tournament. But Thakur also made it clear that India will not play any bilateral series with Pakistan.

The Asia Cup 2025 will start from 9 September. India and Pakistan are in the same group, the match is to be held on September 14. Earlier it was believed that Team India could boycott this match, but after the decision of the Government of India, it has become clear that this match will be held on 14 September. However, many people are also against this decision. On this, a big statement has come from BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia.

In a conversation with NDTV, Saikia said, “The Central Government’s Sports Department has set guidelines and policies for the involvement of the Indian team in cricket or any other sports. While making the policy, I am confident that the central government has decided very carefully to prepare guidelines to help the sports feds at the national level. According to it, according to this, we can decide about any multitimal tournament.”

Action may be done after boycotting

Devjit Saikia explained why the complete boycott of Pakistan is not possible in the sports world. He said that the Asian Cricket Council or ICC can take strict action after refusing to play with Pakistan in the multitem tournament. Apart from this, they feel that it will not be right for the future of young players.

Saikia said, “The central government has taken into account all the factors along with the concerns of the federations as well as the concerns of the players. If there is a multitim tournament and no team participates in it, a particular federation may also be banned. In such a situation the young players and their career will be ruined.”

Team India does not play bilateral series with Pakistan

For the last several years, India has not been playing bilateral series with Pakistan. Recently, the Government of India made it clear that India will not continue to play bilateral series with Pakistan in any sport, but Team India will play with Pakistan in a multitim tournament.

India-Pakistan clash can occur 3 times

Due to being in the same group, a match of India and Pakistan is scheduled, which will be on 14 September. There is a possibility that both will make it to Super-4, so on September 21, there may be a match between these two once again. If both reached the finals, then in the Asia Cup 2025, India vs Pakistan will have a total of 3 matches.

There is now about 15 days left for the Cricket Asia Cup to start 2025, before the BCCI’s agreement with the Indian cricket team’s title sponsor Dream11 is over.

BCCI and Dream11 agreement was reached in 2023

In 2023, the 3 -year agreement between Dream 11 and BCCI was for Rs 358 crore. After this, you used to see the branding of this company in front of the Indian senior men’s team, women and under-19 team jersey. This contract was till 2026, but after the new law, this agreement is being abolished ahead of time.

Will Team India play without title sponsor in Asia Cup?

Now the biggest question is whether the Indian cricket team will play without a title sponsor in the Asia Cup, or before that BCCI will make a short -term agreement. Because the BCCI would not want to make any longer agreement in a hurry. The Asia Cup is being held on 9 September, India’s first match is with the UAE on 10 September. After this, India’s next match is with Pakistan on 14 September. India’s last match in the group stage will be with Oman on 19 September.

Now no good for those who run money gaming and advertisements

Only after the law came in the Lok Sabha, online gaming companies stopped their money gaming business. Now there will be strict action against those who run such money gaming, it has a provision of 3 years and Rs 1 crore. In this platform, those who do or promote an advertisement may also be fined 2 years or a fine of Rs 50 lakh.

Now social games will be promoted, so that the players play in a responsibility and safe manner. Now e -sports will get legal recognition as a game, which was not yet.
