BCCI is yet to make a final call on broadcaster Star India and jersey sponsor Byju's demand in the emergent meeting of the Apex council.

According to PTI reports, India's home season media rights holder Star India asked the Indian board for a Rs 130 crore discount in the existing deal.

Star India paid Rs 6,138.1 for India's international and domestic cricket rights for the 2018-2023 period.

Meanwhile, Byju's wanted the board to encash a bank guarantee worth an estimated Rs 140 crore to honour the current agreement. 

Byju's, which was one of the sponsors of the FIFA World Cup, plans to lay off around 2500 of its 50,000 workforce by March in its aim to become profitable.
