NEW DELHI: The Indian cricket board has asked all international Kochi Tuskers cricketers to register a case against the defunct IPL team to recover their pending money.
Since the players' contracts are between them and the franchisees, the BCCI has asked the cricketers to move against the team. As for Indian cricketers who played for Kochi, they have got 65 per cent of their salaries.
International cricketers who played for Kochi included Mahela Jayawardene, Muttiah Muralitharan, Brendon McCullum and Steven Smith. Earlier, these players were given verbal commitment from the IPL that the BCCI would protect the players' right, but things have turned out to be different.
"We have been told by the BCCI to file a case against the Kochi franchisee, which doesn't exist. We are unable to understand what are we supposed to do from here," a top international cricketer who played for Kochi last IPL, told TOI.
BCCI terminated Kochi's contract during its September AGM for breaching terms of agreement. The board also encashed the team's bank guarantee worth Rs 156 crore.
