New Delhi: Concerned by the fallout of a long-drawn telecast dispute, the Cricket Board today appointed a four-member committee to amicably resolve the vexed issue of sharing the live feed of cricket matches between rights owner Nimbus and public broadcaster Prasar Bharti.

The decision to form the committee, which would interact with the government and Nimbus, was taken at the BCCI's working committee meeting which deliberated at length on the telecast row.

The Board's Vice President Shashank Manohar will head the panel while Vice President Lalit Modi, treasurer N Srinivasan and Punjab Cricket Association President IS Bindra will be the other members.

The dispute between Nimbus, which bought the telecast rights for a whopping USD 612 million, and Prasar Bharti had deprived thousands of cricket fans of watching the first India-West Indies cricket one-dayer live.

As both the parties moved court, the Government came out with an ordinance making it mandatory for the right owners to share the live feed with Prasar Bharti.

"The issue was deliberated upon and a four-member panel has been constituted. It will look at the pros and cons of the ordinance and talk to the government and hopefully the issue will be resolved," BCCI Vice President and Media Committee Convenor Rajiv Shukla told reporters here.

"The Board thinks that people should not be deprived and the rights holders should not be affected. The BCCI understands its responsibility towards both the sides and it is better that a middle path is found," he said.
