The BCCI in a statement said that the partnership will help to spread greater awareness about key environmental challenges facing the country and highlight alternate and more sustainable solutions.
The BCCI will endeavor to reduce its environmental impact by greening operations and engaging cricketers and fans in green initiatives.
