Shashank Manohar, President of BCCI, has called for an emergency gathering of the IPL Governing Council on Sunday in Mumbai to talk about the appropriate decision to be taken against three IPL franchises – Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab and new franchise of Kochi.

The deadline for Kochi to submit paperwork related to its franchise will end on Friday. According to sources, both the franchises Rajasthan and Kochi may be barred from playing in IPL session 4.

The BCCI had issued show-cause notice for alleged irregularities to the new Kochi IPL franchise and to the Shilpa-Shetty-co-owned Rajasthan Royals and Priety-Zinta-co-owned Kings XI Punjab.

A conglomerate of owners, including Rendezvous Sports World had won the Kochi IPL franchise in March with a bid of Rs 1530 crore.
