The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is exploring the possibility of buying the rights for International Cricket Council's (ICC) events for the next seven years.
The ICC is presently in the process of tendering its rights for the period from 2007 to 2015 which include two World Cups, the first of which in 2011 is to be hosted by the sub-continent.
The BCCI said it had written to the ICC expressing its interest. No cricket board has previously bid for the ICC’s global rights but the BCCI feels that as co-host of the 2011 World Cup it will be in the best position to generate maximum revenue.
