It is to be noted that the number of viewership of domestic cricket over the past few years has increased rapidly, leading the BCCI being firm on all the contracted players partaking in the circuit while being away from any sort of national duties. However, fans are ‘frustrated‘ over the board for not airing this season’s first domestic tournament.

“There will be a live telecast of the final of the Duleep Trophy. We have an agreement with our broadcaster to ensure live telecast of 100 days of domestic cricket, which means that all our domestic tournaments are covered live. The BCCI gives utmost importance to domestic cricket, which is why you will see that almost all the India players are in action in these matches,” Devajit said while speaking to the Times of India.
