BCCI likely to come under National Sports Governance Bill 2025
By : Krishna Mishra
The proposed National Sports Governance Bill 2025, which is expected to be tabled during the monsoon session of Parliament, will bring BCCI under its purview, Sports Ministry sources said on Tuesday.
The Bill is likely to be tabled in Parliament this week. Although the BCCI is not dependent on government funding, its inclusion in the bill was widely expected, particularly given the planned participation of Indian cricket team in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
BCCI will come under the ambit of sports bill and all federations will follow the regulations, " a source said.
Officials said the National Sports Governance Bill will solve problems such as frequent litigation over NSF elections and athlete selections, lack of a dedicated dispute resolution forum, weak or token athlete representation in federations, gender imbalance in sports leadership and no standard electoral process across federations.
They said it will also help tackle financial opacity and poor governance in NSFs and absence of internal grievance redress systems.
