KOCHI FRANCHISE WITHDRAWS FROM IPL

Unable to resolve their differences,the Kochi franchise have withdrawn from the Indian Premier League barely two days before the expiry of the BCCI deadline, paving the way for the Cricket Board to issue a new tender for a replacement team. The IPL’s Governing Council will meet in Nagpur on November 28 to discuss the issue and is likely to float a new tender. “The IPL Kochi team has sent a letter to BCCI President Shashank Manohar withdrawing from the league. The IPL Governing Council were now deliberate on the issue and would take a decision on the matter,” a top BCCI official said. The BCCI had given IPL Kochi termination of 30 days to sort out its problems but the wrangling within the consortium continued nonetheless
