NEW DELHI: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has signed Mobile Premier League (MPL), an e-gaming company, as Indian cricket teams' official kit sponsors for three years, it has been learned. MPL has replaced Nike as the sponsor. A top BCCI source said that the expiry of contract was discussed at a BCCI Apex Council meeting on October 17 and later, after all the council members gave their approval through email, the contract was signed with MPL. "All the Apex Council members agreed to go ahead with the contract, given that the Indian team's Australian tour is coming up.
