BCCI to manage ad and modeling contracts of cricketers

Cricketers won’t be able to sign advertising and modeling contracts independently anymore, all such contracts would now have to necessarily be routed through and approved by BCCI. The move is aimed at improving BCCI finances amidst falling revenues due to recession and poor performance of the Indian team. The picture was taken at the inaugural official modeling assignment of team India at Kingston, Jamaica, ahead of the first One Day International between India and West Indies.
