BCCI Confirms Dream11 Exit as Team India Sponsor Ahead of Asia Cup

The withdrawal follows a new law banning real-money online gaming, prompting the board to seek a replacement under a tight deadline.

Overview

  • Dream11 representatives informed BCCI CEO Hemang Amin in person that they cannot continue, ruling the company out for the Asia Cup.
  • BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said the association is over and the board will issue a fresh tender for jersey sponsorship.
  • A contractual clause tied to changes in law means Dream11 will not incur penalties for ending the deal early.
  • Jerseys printed with the Dream11 logo are unlikely to be used, and India may play the Asia Cup without a lead sponsor if no agreement is finalized in time.
  • Following presidential assent for the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, Dream11 suspended all paid contests and is shifting focus to free-to-play and other Dream Sports units.
