BCCI Announces Schedule As It Joins Hands With Government To Telecast Memorable Matches From 2000s

With no action going around at the moment due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has given the cricket fans something to cheer about. The Indian cricket board has decided to join hands with the government to take cricket fans on a nostalgic ride by telecasting old games.

As of now, all the cricket events across the world is off because of the pandemic. In normal circumstances, the fans would have been enjoying the Indian Premier League (IPL) right now. The thirteenth edition of the league was scheduled to start on March 29. But in the wake of the outbreak, the BCCI suspended the league at least till April 15.

The way things are unfolding at the moment, it is highly unlikely that any action will take place any time soon. The positive cases across India have crossed the 4,000 mark while more than 50 persons have lost their lives already. And at a time when everything looks gloomy, the BCCI has decided to take the cricket fans on a nostalgic ride.

BCCI has decided to rewind the glorious era of Indian cricket in the 2000s by telecasting the highlights of the matches from the past on DD Sports channel. The board will be telecasting the highlights of matches from the 2003 Tri-series between India, Australia and New Zealand, South Africa’s tour of India in 2000, Australia tour of India in 2001, West Indies tour of India in 2002 and Sri Lanka’s tour of India in 2005.

“The 2000s cricket rewind The BCCI and Government of India bring you cricket highlights from the past. Sit back and enjoy the action on @dd.sports,” wrote BCCI on Instagram with all the telecast details.
