and cricket world cup final
The first semifinal of the World Cup between Sri Lanka and New Zealand will be held in Colombo on Tuesday while the high-octane second semifinal between traditional rivals India and Pakistan is scheduled to be held in Mohali on Wednesday.
The final will be held in Mumbai on April 2.
ESPN-Star Sports has the broadcast rights for the World Cup.
The ICC on Monday night barred electronic media from covering the remaining matches.
The spokesman said, this will be applicable to both the semifinals in Colombo and Mohali and the final in Mumbai.
An ICC spokesman said that non-rights holders will no longer be allowed to cover the practice session or the press conferences related to World Cup for not following the code of conduct and the media guidelines, which they had signed for accreditation.
It is believed that at least 40 leading channels will be affected.
It is believed that the breaches have been of a commercial nature; there could be elements of ambush marketing involved with the channels running shows sponsored by companies that are in competition with the ICC sponsors.
the Broadcast Editors' Association (BEA) and the National Broadcasters Association (NBA) have decided to approach the Information and Broadcasting (I&B) ministry on the matter.
BEA President Shazi Zaman has termed the ICC move as arbitrary and an infringement of media rights.
But I am sure they will find the solution.
Cricket and Media each other need each other, the relationship is like that one is water then other is fish.
