Kolkata: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) today announced that it would arrange live telecast of the India-Australia series beginning on October 6 through Sony TV channel.

"The Board has decided to produce the live telecast of the series itself and distribution will be done by Sony TV," the Board's newly elected president Ranbir Singh Mahendra told newsmen here.

Mahendra said that based on the recommendations of its marketing committee, Board had decided to produce the live telecast itself.

He also said that live feeds would be produced by Ten Sports network for BCCI, while "telecast, distribution and marketing" would be done by Sony Entertainment Network on a 'revenue sharing basis'.

The telecast of India-Pakistan Platinum Jubilee match on November 13 and two-series between India and South Africa in November-December would be done under the same arrangement, Mahendra said.

He said the live telecast would be subject to any order passed by the Supreme Court, where a matter is pending in this regard.
