JioStar terminates Bangladesh IPL cricket broadcast contract, no local telecast likely

Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s entertainment venture JioStar has terminated its broadcast deals in Bangladesh for the Indian Premier League cricket tournament, saying its local partner defaulted on payments, according to a document seen by Reuters.

Bangladesh in January banned IPL broadcasts after one of its teams, Kolkata Knight Riders, dropped Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman on Indian cricket board’s instruction, just as tensions rose between the two countries following the killing of a Hindu man in Bangladesh.
