The six-year media rights were awarded in two segments: two years (2012-14) and four years (2014-18).
The BCCI had, actually, given to STAR an undertaking of hosting at least 96 matches, to be played against six countries - Australia, England, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, South Africa and the West Indies.
Pakistan was added later to the list, after the national governments of the two countries recently agreed to give the green signal to restore bilateral cricket series after five years.
Pakistan will now tour India to play three ODIs and two T20 Internationals in December-January, taking India's home matches to 101.
BCCI sources say that more matches against Pakistan would be added in the period for which the media rights have been sold.
