According to reports, BCCI can adopt 2-3 more sports and funds and develop players in a bid to increase India’s Olympic possibilities.
BCCI for the development of 2-3 Olympic Games

After a disappointing show at the Paris Olympics, the Government of India has carried on its efforts to ensure better results.

The report stated that along with BCCI, the major corporate houses and some of the PSU Olympic training centers are interested in financing. Each center will be dedicated to a specific game. While India’s Sports Authority (SAI) has 23 centers across the country, only 3 are dedicated to specific sports.

BCCI target for Odisha like success?
Hockey India’s participation with the Odisha government saw a change in the fate of the team over the years. Struggling for sponsorship, the Odisha government became a partner, and the result is to see. Not only did Odisha provide financial assistance, but the state created a infrastructure to support the game. It is now the country’s hockey capital. All this came when the men’s team won bronze at the Paris Olympics.
BCCI will expect similar returns. The Indian Cricket Board is not a stranger for the Indian Olympic Association for financially chipping. Prior to the Paris Olympics, the BCCI promised Rs 8.5 crore for the preparation of the event.
“BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla has expressed interest in developing Olympic training centers for the government without any cost. There are sports like baseball which are similar to cricket and BCCI can do great work there,” The source added.
Unlike Odisha, BCCI investment, however, is likely to be targeted in the center and athletes. The Indian Cricket Board has changed how the cricketers are taken care of. Players often rehabilitate under the best-in-class employees, and the performance methods are updated to maximize performance. Such expertise will be invaluable to the Olympian of India, which supports its preparation for Los Angeles.
