Nothing Official About It!
Sunday, March 2, 2008 Labels: BCCI, T20 0 commentsThere is this official website of Indian Premier League by BCCI. And when you have a official site for any tournament, you are bound to think that you will be getting all the info about the latest happenings of the tournament from that site. But here, you are in for a surprise as the latest information in this site is only of 15th Feb 2008, saying 'The Player Auction will be held on the 20th of February'. Auction of the players is already over but the official word about the same on the internet is yet to be spoken! With innumerable sites raking in moolah from the latest buzz in Indian sports, BCCI is yet to catch up on this field.
Apart from that, the official site is yet to sport the logo of the T20 tournament in its pages. Also, no information is available about the players of the 8 teams participating in the tournament. What is currently available is the list of players available for IPL before auction. Also there is the schedule of matches being played in the inaugural edition of the cup. The pdf file of the match schedule from this site, has been doing rounds in the techie circle through e-mails!
Well, BCCI could pull up its socks for making this official website truely official by giving it a more professional look with the latest information. Also it can toy up with the idea of having its own staff of official bloggers too. When the auction of IPL players was going on, the latest news was only available on cricinfo blogs. With less than 2 months to go for the tournament, BCCI has its task cut out and netizens would like to see the real official IPL site!
