Supreme Court Questions BCCI's Exemption from Sports Governance Act

The Supreme Court of India has issued a notice to the BCCI and state cricket associations, demanding an explanation for why they should not be governed by the National Sports Governance Act of 2025.

Chief Justice Surya Kant emphasized the need for uniform transparency and accountability standards across all national sports bodies, regardless of their financial autonomy.

The court's intervention could lead to significant structural changes in how the BCCI manages its internal affairs and administrative appointments moving forward.
