The conclusion of the BCCI Apex Council Meeting has turned out to be contrary to the initial speculations suggesting that Team India’s performance in the T20 World Cup 2022 will be reviewed after their disappointing performance. The apex council meeting didn’t discuss senior men’s team performance. The council will rather wait for the formation of the new selection committee and will leave the discussion to them to decide the future of Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid in limited-overs cricket.

The members of the BCCI discussed the status of two of their leading sponsors – Byju’s and MPL Sports, as per a report in Sportstar. The board has asked the ed-tech company to continue the sponsorship until March 2023 whereas MPL Sports will likely assign its rights to fashion brand KKCL.
