SC allows BCCI to disburse Rs 1.33 cr for 2 Tests

December 07, 2016 16:36

The Supreme Court has allowed the Board of Control for Cricket in India to disburse Rs 1.33 crore for next two India vs England Test matches and an advance of Rs 25 lakh each for three one-day and three T-20 matches.

A bench headed by Chief Justice of India T S Thakur ordered to release the sum for two cricket test matches to be played in Mumbais Wankhede stadium and Chennai.

The BCCI had moved the SC seeking disbursal of the amount for the remaining two Tests.

On October 21, the top court passed an interim order asking the BCCI to 'cease and desist' from disbursing funds to state associations until the association gave a written resolution that it would adopt all the recommendations approved by the court.
