Why shouldn't National Sports Governance Act apply to BCCI, asks Supreme Court
The Supreme Court has questioned why the BCCI and state cricket associations should not be covered under the National Sports Governance Act and its rules. The bench noted that if these bodies agree to fall under the NSG Act framework, all pending litigation before the SC relating to cricket governance and management could be transferred to the sports tribunal.
The remarks come amid ongoing discussions on regulatory oversight of Indian cricket administration. The SC's position suggests potential movement toward bringing cricket's apex body under unified sports governance standards.
