Kochi gets 30 days to sort out ownership differences

Nagpur, In a respite for the squabbling Kochi IPL consortium, the BCCI today gave the franchise 30 more days to resolve its disputes or risk termination from the high-profile league.

The IPL Governing Council, after an emergency meeting to discuss the issue, served a 30-day termination notice to the franchise to sort out its differences failing which it would stand cancelled.

"The Governing Council received replies from two parties, the Rendezvous group and the other co-owners, and they both felt that the dispute still exists," BCCI President Shashank Manohar told reporters after the meeting.

"The Governing Council has invoked clause 12 (1) and given them a 30 days notice that in case they don't remedy these disputes in the 30 days, the franchise would stand cancelled on the 31st day," he said.
