Non sense, This will only increase the anti IPL and BBCI movement and increase the support for Modi. Although, still there can be appeal and more negotiation as if they do not play, already huge market gone. Maybe, BCCI could terminate their selves for being corrupted.

The Indian Premier League Governing Council will have an emergency meeting in Mumbai on Sunday to discuss issues relating to three franchisers, according to cricket board sources. The three franchise teams - Rajasthan Royals, Kings Eleven Punjab and newly bought Kochi - were given show cause notices by BCCI on September 29 as they had not complied with the rules governing the franchisers. The Governing Council is expected to take a final decision on these three franchisers at the meeting. The BCCI had issued show-cause notices to the new Kochi IPL franchise and to Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab IPL for alleged irregularities in the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Kochi's deadline to submit the paperwork is on Friday and according to sources Kochi and Rajastan Royals face the threat of being barred from next year's competition. Talks had been initiated between the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) and the Kochi IPL team to sort out various issues. Despite the addition of two teams, the fourth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) may well feature eight, like the first three editions. As the members of the newly-formed IPL Governing Council get together for the first time in an "emergency meeting" in Mumbai on Sunday, all eyes related stories will be on whether Chirayu Amin and his men take the drastic step of disqualifying any of the three franchises under scanner. Rajasthan Royals, Kings XI Punjab and the Kochi consortium are being scrutinised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and various government investigative agencies for irregularities in their ownership patterns and handling of funds. Interestingly, each of the three franchises maintained that they "will definitely escape disqualification". The BCCI, at its annual general meeting, had decided to issue show-cause notices to the three franchises. While the deadline for Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab's reply expired on Friday, the Kochi franchise, it was learnt, was yet to receive the notice. And with time running out, the BCCI may well take a drastic step at Sunday's Governing Council meeting. "One of the two existing teams is surely not going to feature in next year's IPL," a BCCI insider said on Saturday. "As for the Kochi owners, it all depends on whether they unanimously want to run the franchise or not." The Kochi franchise is marred by infighting among stakeholders. However, the last couple of days have offered "a glimmer of hope towards an amicable settlement" in the Kochi camp. "Let's hope it's not too late," a Kochi stakeholder said. Despite the three franchises being optimistic, the axe is likely to fall on Rajasthan Royals, who have close links with former IPL chairman Lalit Modi's family. And don't be surprised if the Governing Council issues a show-cause notice and gives the Kochi owners "one last chance" to sort out their mess in the next 10 days.
