Mumbai: The deadline set by the BCCI has expired but the Kochi IPL consortium still wants some more time from the Cricket Board to resolve its internal differences.
The franchise, which has roped in former India captain Sunil Gavaskar in an advisory capacity, said it is hopeful of getting the time from the BCCI.
"We consortium partners are very close to resolving our internal differences and would like the BCCI to give us some more time and have also sought this," franchise CEO Satyajit Gaekwad told PTI.
"We have not defaulted on any payment to the BCCI and just want some more time," he said.
BCCI president Shashank Manohar has convened an emergency meeting of the IPL Governing Council tomorrow at Nagpur to decide on the Kochi franchise issue.
