BCCI extends jersey contract with BYJU's until March 2023

BYJU’s will continue to remain the official jersey sponsor of the Indian cricket team for another year. This decision was taken by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), and was even approved by the Apex Council as well.

A BCCI member confirmed the news. The agreement was supposed to have concluded after the ongoing series between India and Sri Lanka. “The agreement has been renewed for another year. It would have ended after the current series,” said the member as quoted by Cricbuzz.

Earlier in 2019, the BCCI had given the jersey sponsorship to BYJUs. The BCCI had also stated that they are happy to welcome India’s foremost learning app as the official Team sponsor of the Indian side.

“BYJU’S will be taking over all obligations of the current team sponsor OPPO mobiles India private limited. The BCCI is pleased to welcome India’s leading education and learning app BYJU’S as the official Team India sponsor from 5th September 2019 until 31st March, 2022,” the BCCI had said when BYJUs came on board in 2019.
