The upcoming 21st Apex Council Meeting of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), is scheduled for December 18. Despite the anticipation, the BCCI has yet to unveil the venue and exact timing for this crucial meeting.

The agenda, as outlined in the official BCCI release, promises discussions on various pivotal matters. 

Among these are the confirmation of minutes from the previous 20th Apex Council Meeting, deliberations on sponsorship for BCCI matches, and an update on the appointment of a service provider for video equipment to cover domestic matches. 

The Chairperson also retains the flexibility to include any additional business deemed necessary for discussion.

A major highlight in recent cricket history was the grand success of the ODI World Cup 2023, hosted by India. The tournament witnessed a staggering total of 1,250,307 spectators flocking to stadiums across the country to witness 48 exhilarating matches. This phenomenal turnout surpassed the previous record set during the 2015 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, with 1,016,420 spectators in attendance.

The 'Men in Blue' exhibited exceptional prowess throughout the prestigious tournament, maintaining an awe-inspiring 10-match winning streak. However, their journey culminated in the final showdown against Australia, where victory narrowly slipped through their grasp.

The last Apex Council meeting convened on July 7 in Mumbai, covered a spectrum of cricket-related topics. Notably, the apex body of Indian cricket engaged in a thorough discussion on the concept of the Impact Player in the Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament, underlining the council's commitment to continually refine and enhance the sport.

Looking ahead to the forthcoming meeting, the BCCI is set to address key issues, including the pivotal discussion on match sponsorship and the selection of a service provider for video equipment to cover domestic matches. The board's statement emphasized the significance of these matters in advancing the cricketing landscape in India.

While the BCCI acknowledged Team India's stellar performance in the ODI World Cup, it remains uncertain whether a comprehensive review of the team's achievements and areas of improvement will be on the agenda. Nevertheless, cricket enthusiasts are keenly anticipating updates on this front during the meeting.
