The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) today squarely blamed
public broadcaster Doordarshan for denying millions of Indian fans the
chance of watching the ongoing Test series between India and Bangladesh.
"Doordarshan is to be blamed for this. They should have prepared an understanding
with the broadcaster Neo Sports so that Indian viewers could watch the
Test series also," BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah said. 
To a question as to why the BCCI was not interfering in the
matter, he said "the BCCI cannot do anything in this. It is something that
the broadcaster and Doordarshan should look into." "Doordarshan is
showing another one-day series being played (Sri Lanka and Pakistan),
why cannot they show the Indian team's series," questioned Shah.
He, however, expressed hope that Neo Sports would come up with
a solution soon as the Indian team has a lot of cricket to play both in India
and abroad in the current year.
