The source said that the BCCI will continue to be an autonomous body like all other NSFs, but the disposal of disputes related to them will arrest the proposed National Sports. This will become a solution body of disputes related to sports matters ranging from tributary to selection. The source said that this bill does not mean government control over any NSF. The government will play the role of a narrator in ensuring good governance. Cricket (T20 format) has been included in the Olympic Games to be held in Los Angeles in 2028 and thus BCCI has already become part of the Olympic movement. The aim of the Sports Administration Bill is to create a strong sports structure for timely election, administrative accountability and welfare of players.

The National Sports Board (NSB) will be fully appointed by the Central Government. It will have extensive rights to recognize or suspend sports associations on the basis of complaints or for violations from ‘their discretion’ from electoral irregularities to financial disturbances. In this bill, some concessions have been given on the complicated issue of the age limit of the administrators in which people between the ages of 70 to 75 have been allowed to contest elections, provided the concerned international institutions do not object. NSB will have a chairman and its members will be appointed by the Central Government. These appointments will be made on the basis of recommendations of a discovery-cum-selection committee.
