The Supreme Court asks why the National Sports Governance (NSG) Act should not apply to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and state cricket associations. The court’s question is linked to a potential step where the cricket bodies opt in to the NSG framework.
If the BCCI and state associations agree to come under the NSG Act and the rules framed under it, the Supreme Court says litigation pending before it involving the functioning and management of cricket bodies would be transferred to the sports tribunal. The reports describe the same conditional mechanism: the transfer depends on acceptance of NSG coverage by the relevant cricket organisations.
Both outlets frame the issue as a procedural and jurisdictional question rather than a final ruling on coverage. They report the court’s prompt to consider NSG applicability and outline the consequence that existing cases would move from the Supreme Court to the sports tribunal if the bodies choose to be covered.
