Arun Dhumal said the deal with Vivo will stay for now but the BCCI will not hesitate to terminate it in case the government asks them to do so.

The BCCI will not award contracts to any Chinese company in the future to build stadiums or other infrastructure, cricket board treasurer Arun Dhumal informed. Chinese communication company Vivo is the title sponsor of the Indian Premier League while Li-Ning is the apparel sponsor for the Indian Olympic Association, and both organisations refused to rule out the termination of these contracts anytime in the future.

Dhumal said the deal with Vivo will stay for now but the BCCI will not hesitate to terminate it in case the government asks them to do so.

�In the future, we will not give any contract to Chinese companies to build our (BCCI) infrastructure,� Dhumal told. This follows the flare-up on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) at Galwan valley that saw 20 Indian Armymen lose their lives fighting against the Chinese troops.
