New Delhi: The India-Bangladesh One Day Series will be telecast on Doordarshan. However, Doordarshan will not be the official broadcaster of the series. Doordarshan has stepped in after Indian broadcasters have shown little interest in buying the rights for the live telecast. The broadcasting rights for the ODI series are with the Bangladesh-based Gazi TV.  

According to a ESPN Cricinfo report, Gazi TV had approached Star Sports and Sony Six. However, Sony 6, which is telecasting World Cup matches live, refused to telecast the ODI series. According to reports, Star Sports had asked for telecast rights for Rs 5 crore, which was considered "paltry" by the Bangladesh broadcaster.
