Cricket in India belongs to a special segment, as the cricket board does not receive any financial support from the central government, unlike the other sports authorities in the nation.
After the meeting, the board secretary Devajit Saikia discussed their stance on the NSG Act. He claimed that they will act as per the rules of the Act as soon as they receive any further notification.
Devajit Saikia on the National Sports Governance Act
"Regarding the Sports Act, our stand is very clear. There are a lot of things which have to be done by the authority concerned. Once those exercises are completed and once the BCCI comes under the Sports Act, a particular notification has to be issued to make it a designated sport," board Secretary Devajit Saikia said the BCCI is not trying to circumvent the NSG Act.
What is the National Sports Governance Act?
The National Sports Governance Act is considered one of the landmark decisions in Indian sports history. The purpose of the act is to grant, suspend, or revoke the recognition of sports federations and ensure compliance. Additionally, the act will provide security to the sports governing bodies in legal matters like the general elections within the governing bodies for different sports across the nation. This act will impose an age cap on officials as well.
At the beginning of a 17-page explanation, the National Sports Governance Act 2025 mentions, "An act to provide for the development and promotion of sports, welfare measures for sportspersons, ethical practices based on basic universal principles of good governance, ethics and fair play of the Olympic and sports movement, the Olympic Charter, the Paralympic Charter, international best practices and established legal standards and to provide for the resolution of sports grievances and sports disputes in a unified, equitable and effective manner and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto"
