There were only two bidders for the scheduled 86 matches (Tests, ODIs and T20Is) in India during the upcoming seasons as the rights have been awarded for a period of four years till 2019. The bids were opened at the BCCI marketing committee meeting that lasted for around five hours.

It is also learnt that the Micromax bid was cancelled. "MIcromax's bid was not even opened after they had failed to submit proper documents required for being eligible bidders. SO their bid document was not opened and paytm won the bid unilaterally," a marketing committee member told PTI.
