Hence, the only thing remaining from the BCCI’s point of view is the media rights deal for the next five-year cycle starting 2023. As per Cricbuzz, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been given a suggestion for a new media rights deal by considering multiple broadcasters.

“The new media rights tender for the IPL could have a compendium of bundles that would ensure the involvement of multiple broadcasters. That is apparently a suggestion given to the BCCI. We will have to wait for the ITT (Invitation To Tender) document to see if it has been implemented,” a top executive of a media selling company was quoted by the publication.
