Mastercard replaces Paytm as BCCI's title sponsor for India domestic & international matches

In the latest developments at BCCI, financial payments service MasterCard has been given title sponsorship for all India matches including domestic and international matches. Mobile financial service Paytm was the previous title sponsor of the same. Paytm had the sponsorship rights for 7 years.

The BCCI’s deal with the Mastercard will also include domestic, junior and women matches. Some prestigious tournaments like Ranji Trophy, Irani Trophy and Duleep Trophy are also included.

BCCI president, Sourav Ganguly said, “The BCCI welcomes Mastercard as the Title Sponsor for home cricket matches for the 2022-23 season. Along with the international home series, the BCCI’s domestic tournaments are crucial as they are a stepping stone towards making India a strong international side. The BCCI truly values Mastercard’s support in building Indian cricket.”

Mastercard will feature Australia and South Africa’s tour of India as their first 2 series. Both the series will take place just before the T20 World Cup 2022.

Former Indian captain and Mastercard brand ambassador, MS Dhoni said, “Cricket has been my life and given me everything I have. I am thrilled that Mastercard is sponsoring all the home cricket matches of the BCCI, and especially the domestic, junior and women’s cricket.”
