NEW DELHI: The Rajasthan Royals have filed a petition in the Bombay High Court against the national cricket board’s decision to expel the franchise from the Indian Premier League.The Board of Control for Cricket in India removed the Royals earlier this month following charges that it had broken shareholding and ownership rules. King’s XI Punjab was also ousted on similar charges.
The Royals issued a statement on Monday saying: “We have tried to meet with the BCCI to understand the basis for the termination, which was received without notice.
“We do not understand what we have done wrong, and it is therefore our duty to the fans of the IPL, our employees, our players and our partners to pursue the matter.”
The team expect their case to be heard by the court on Wednesday. —A
