With no broadcaster available, the BCCI has decided to live stream the Duleep Trophy and the Deodhar Trophy games on its own website. This new advent from the apex cricket body of the country is set to commence on 12th July which will mark the finals of the Duleep Trophy.
The BCCI has been unable to find a proper broadcaster to stream and telecast the domestic matches in the country. Subsequently as a result the matches will now be live-streamed on bcci.tv. All the important domestic matches will now be broadcasted by BCCI on its own website that includes the all-important Duleep Trophy finals.

For these games, the BCCI decided to reach out to many commentators both for English and Hindi coverage. Apart from the Duleep Trophy finals, which will see the West Zone locking horns with the South Zone, the Deodhar Trophy will also be broadcasted by the BCCI. The main reason for this is the unavailability of any broadcaster at this moment.
The earlier deal with Disney Star ended back in March and the BCCI has been unable to find broadcasters with the continuous delay in the Zee-Sony merger. The new broadcast deal was supposed to be done and dusted by July but now, in all likelihood, the deal will be done in August. The BCCI has enlisted Ernst & Young and the media rights tender is likely to be released for four years.
