Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) on Wednesday wrote to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) raising objections over the Indian Premier League’s (IPL) title sponsor reportedly having stakeholders from China.
In a letter to BCCI president Saurav Ganguly, CAIT said, “We are deeply pained to note that now Dream11 has been chosen as sponsor of IPL 2020 which has Chinese company Tencent Global as one of the major stakeholders.”
“We are of the considered opinion that awarding sponsorship to Dream11 is nothing but a bye pass route to neglect the sentiments and feelings prevailing among the people of India against China for its regular attempts to invade the interests of India,” said CAIT.
Dream11 is an
Indian company founded by Harsh Jain and Bhavit Sheth which won the IPL title
sponsorship rights.
