Despite the absence of a sponsor for the Asia Cup, the BCCI is optimistic about the financial prospects under the new model. If the revised rates attract competitive bids, the board stands to earn well over Rs 400 crore in sponsorship revenue, with the final figure likely to exceed initial estimates depending on the market response

In a significant development following the exit of Dream11 as the Indian cricket team’s jersey sponsor, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) revised its sponsorship fee structure, raising the per-match value for future sponsors.
According to a Cricbuzz report, the revised figures stand at Rs 3.5 crore for each match in bilateral series and Rs 1.5 crore for games in multilateral tournaments. These new rates will be applicable to competitions sanctioned by the International Cricket Council (ICC) as well as the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). Citing industry sources, the report revealed that the revised sponsorship amounts mark a marginal increase from the previous figures, Rs 3.17 crore for bilateral matches and Rs 1.12 crore for multilateral fixtures.
The upward revision follows the termination of Dream11’s association with the national team, a fallout of the Indian government's recent legislation, the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025. The Act explicitly prohibits companies from offering or advertising real money gaming services, leading Dream11 to shut down its real money offerings. Subsequently, the BCCI was compelled to cancel its sponsorship contract with the fantasy sports platform.
