India's JioStar terminates BD IPL cricket broadcast deal, letter shows

CHENNAI, Mar 30 (Reuters): 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, KKR, dropped Mustafizur Rahman on Indian cricket board's instruction.
Though Bangladesh is reviewing the ban and had on Saturday said any further steps will depend on the opinion of its sports ministry, the termination by JioStar means there will be no local broadcaster for the IPL season, even if the country were to change its stance.
