Cracking the whip for breach of contractual terms, the Board on Monday terminated Kochi’s contract, a move which prompted the controversial Kerala team to threaten legal action against the BCCI.
“What will be the consequences of the termination and the future of the players as well as whether to play with nine teams -- all these will be decided by the IPL governing council. (But) players’ interest will be safeguarded. BCCI will not leave the players in lurch. We will find a equitable solution that is viable both for the players and the BCCI,” Srinivasan said.
“Whether it will be nine-team affair it’s for the IPL governing council to take a call at their next meeting, which I hope, is soon. I can’t decide that on my own its a decision of the IPL governing council and for BCCI as a whole to take,” he said.
