Expulsion unfair, says Rajasthan co-owner Badale
Manoj Badale, co-owner of Rajasthan Royals, has said he doesn't understand why the board did not give the IPL franchise a chance to defend itself
The ripple effects
The ramifications of the case go far beyond these two franchises. Rajasthan had close ties with the English county side Hampshire, who on Monday issued a statement clarifying that no final deal had been signed as yet. The ties with Hampshire were part of a four-nation "global sporting franchise" planned by Rajasthan, but the plans are now presumably on hold.
