September 27, 2004 14:09 IST

In the midst of the controversy over the telecast rights of cricket matches, which is being adjudicated by the Supreme Court, ESPN-Star Sports on Monday informed the Board of Control for Cricket in India that they are ready to produce the live telecast of the matches and share the feed with Doordarshan.

"In view of the fact that the contract for telecast of cricket matches awarded to Zee Telefilms has been cancelled, we are ready to produce the live telecast of the matches," ESPN-Star Sports said in a letter to BCCI.

ESPN-Star Sports further said, "We will share the feed with Doordarshan to serve the interest of cricket. This should be given to us as we have all the infrastructure to do the live telecast of matches."
