News Summary:

On July 9, Rahul Johri, the former Chief Executive Officer of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), who oversaw the Indian Premier League (IPL T20) and led the sale of BCCI media rights for more than USD, joined the board of Flash Sports & Media Holdings Inc. This followed reports on July 7 indicating that former India batter VVS Laxman will likely return as Team India's head coach for the upcoming Zimbabwe tour and the Asian Games 2026, a move reflecting the BCCI's strategy to split coaching responsibilities due to a packed international calendar. Earlier, on July 5, the BCCI prohibited smart glasses like Ray-Ban Meta in IPL player areas to protect broadcasting rights and curb anti-corruption risks, classifying these wearables as recording devices. This development came after Abhimanyu Khanna was named head of rights acquisition BCCI at JioStar on July 2, bringing three decades of cricket experience to the business side of the sport after 14 years in sales and channel partnerships.
