The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reported to be in discussions with South Africa as part of preparations for the 2027 Cricket World Cup. Multiple reports say Gautam Gambhir and Shubman Gill have made a “2027 World Cup” request connected to these talks.
According to the reports, the proposed arrangements relate to planning and scheduling ahead of the tournament, which is described as just over a year away. The BCCI and the Indian team management are working to line up support from other cricket boards to help India prepare for the event.
While both outlets cover the same development, the emphasis is slightly different: one report frames it around the wider BCCI discussions tied to Gambhir and Gill’s request, while the other focuses on the specific fact that the request is being taken forward through talks with South Africa. Neither source provides detailed terms of any agreement in the brief summaries available.
