MUMBAI: The International Cricket Council today released its News Access Regulations (NAR) for broadcasters in India intending to report on the ICC World Twenty20 2016 which will be staged across India from 8 March to 3 April 2016.

These regulations are solely for bona fide news broadcasters registered under the category of News and Current Affairs channels according to Indian Ministry of Information and Broadcasting’s downlinking guidelines.

The regulations have been based on and reflect the current law in India governing news access. The regulations will remain in full force and effect until 24 hours after the end of the last match of the event.

To ensure complete fulfilment of these NAR, the ICC will be appointing a media agency to monitor compliance with the Regulations. In the event of any non-compliance, the ICC will take legal action against the non-compliant party; such action may include issuing proceedings and/or seeking injunctive relief. 

The ICC looks forward to full compliance with the regulations from all concerned.
