"The interests of the country is involved. We will make our best efforts," he told reporters without giving further details.
The BCCI walked away on Tuesday from a conditional $308 million deal for top domestic media firm Zee Telefilms to broadcast the cricket-crazy nation's home games for four years, in the face of a legal challenge from unsuccessful bidder ESPN Star Sports.
Zee has petitioned the country's highest court against the board's decision to cancel the deal. The appeal is set for hearing tomorrow.
