Indian broadcaster GeoStar has terminated its agreement with Bangladeshi partner T-Sports, creating uncertainty over the Indian Premier League (IPL) broadcast in Bangladesh. According to Reuters sources, the decision was made after T-Sports failed to make scheduled payments. GeoStar formally notified T-Sports of the cancellation in a letter dated February 17, making the termination effective immediately.
Earlier in January, Bangladesh’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting had banned IPL broadcasts after the Kolkata Knight Riders dropped Bangladeshi pacer Mustafizur Rahman following instructions from the Indian cricket board. The government is currently reviewing that ban. However, GeoStar’s cancellation means that even if the restriction is lifted, Bangladesh will still lack a valid broadcaster for the IPL.
GeoStar also canceled its agreement with T-Sports for the Women’s Premier League broadcast due to similar payment failures. The IPL, valued at about 18.5 billion dollars, remains one of the most popular cricket tournaments across South Asia, including Bangladesh, where the latest season began on March 28 and is ongoing.
