The owners of the Indian Premier League (IPL) Kochi Tuskers have requested the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to shift the team’s base to Ahmedabad from Ahmedabad. As per the reports a letter has been written to Shashank Manohar, president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), and the IPL Governing Council in this regard which was discussed at the BCCI working committee meeting in Mumbai, Monday. The IPL governing council will take a decision in its next meeting and it has to be ratified in the AGM of the BCCI.
Explaing the reasons behind this move, Sanchit Aggarwal, a Kochi Tuskers official said they have suffered huge losses in inaugural season this year as there is no viewership for cricket in Kerala.
The team was bought by a group of business houses, mostly hailing from Gujarat and Mumbai, for a whopping $333 million for a period of 10 years.
