BCCI Confirms Duleep Trophy Final Telecast After Fans Decry Blackout

The board cited a 100-day domestic broadcast deal to explain the blackout of early rounds.

Overview

  • Secretary Devajit Saikia said the final, scheduled for September 11–15 at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, will be aired live.
  • Quarterfinals were not televised, drawing sustained criticism from fans as the domestic season opened in Bengaluru.
  • Saikia pointed to a broadcaster agreement covering 100 days of domestic cricket, and reporting indicates only the final will be shown this year.
  • The semifinals start on September 4 at the CEG ground, yet coverage beyond the final remains unconfirmed and is expected to be off-air.
  • The limited access contrasts with last year, when all Duleep Trophy matches were available to watch.
