The Indian Premier League (IPL) Governing Council has asked Sahara’s Pune Warriors franchise to “get consent” of the other franchisees for playing five foreign players in the fifth edition.
“Sahara has to get the consent of all other franchises and then the matter will be put before the working committee, which will take the final call,” IPL chairman Rajiv Shukla said after the league’s Governing Council meeting here Wednesday.
“All the issues which were discussed with Sahara were ratified by the Governing Council,” Shukla added.
Sahara and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) called truce last week after the group pulled out of India’s team sponsorship and withdrew Pune Warriors from the IPL over differences with the board.
