The new title Sponsor for domestic and international cricket in India will be Mastercard. In response to PayTM’s proposal, BCCI has chosen to grant Mastercard’s request to get the title rights.

Mastercard’s first series as the BCCI’s Title Sponsor will be in September versus World Champion Australia.

According to information, Australia will face India at Mohali (September 20), Nagpur (September 23), and Hyderabad (September 24). (September 25).

Three more Twenty20 matches against the Proteas will conclude India’s World Cup preparations at Trivandrum (September 28), Guwahati (October 1), and Indore (October 1). (October 3).
