NEW DELHI, July 23 -- The National Sports Governance Bill, 2025 set to be tabled in Parliament on Wednesday will bring the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) under its ambit, Union sports ministry officials said on Tuesday, implying that the board will also come under the Right to Information (RTI) Act as it will be a recognised national sports federation (NSF). "Every sports federation in the country will come under this Act. BCCI too will come under it," a top ministry official said on Tuesday. The bill also raises the age limit for officials to 75 years from 70, which means Roger Binny, 70, will be eligible to continue as BCCI president. "We will have to study the Bill and then we will see what we need to do," said BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia. The sports ministry in 2010 declared all NSFs as "public authority" under the RTI Act, 2005. However, BCCI managed to stay outside the Act's ambit. FULL REPORT ON P13...
