BCCI President Jagmohan Dalmiya said the board would be increasingly "cautious" in its dealings with these companies in the aftermath of the contract controversy, which saw the World Cup sponsors seeking damages from the Global Cricket Corporation, a move that resulted in India's guarantee money being withheld by the International Cricket Council. "The board has to be cautious before approaching the companies that failed to support us before and after the World Cup in South Africa because we personally feel that the Indian players' demands were not wrong," Dalmiya told reporters after a meeting of the BCCI's marketing committee in Mumbai. The lucrative three-year contract for rights of India's international fixtures at home is up for renewal and the three sponsors -- Pepsi, LG and Hero Honda -- who had asked for compensation for the breach of contract by the Indian cricketers during the World Cup, might find themselves losing out. "The three-year contract with Pepsi has just ended and we discussed a few companies, though I cannot name the parties as the final decision for the coming years would be taken during the finance committee meeting next month," Dalmiya said. in-depth coverage > Cricket World Cup 2003 > |
