New Delhi, Oct. 25: 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 BCCI 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.” The team expect their case to be heard by the court on Wednesday.
