Star and Sony Unhappy After BCCI Wants Same Money for India and Non-India Matches

The rights to broadcast India’s home matches are up for grabs. A round of frenzied bidding from Star India and SPN, owned by Sony Corp, is on the cards as the two major players in the Indian market are expected to fight tooth and nail to grab the rights. But both have written to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) making their displeasure known. The main reason is that the BCCI wants the media rights winner to pay the same amount for matches involving two visiting teams as well in case of international series like a World T20 or 50-over World Cup.
