The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) may find the Kochi Tuskers Kerala’s compensation claim issue too hot to handle. The Committee of Administrators had settled the compensation claim with the Kochi Tuskers team ownership at ₹ 800 crore two years ago.

However, the BCCI has since not made the payment to the franchise. According to reports, the debt is now mounting “at ₹ 75 lakh per day”. If the dues are not paid soon, the outstanding might just become unbearable for the board, a BCCI source has reportedly told the BCCI.

Because of the technical and operations issues, the respective board couldn’t clear the debt issues. With CoA not much interested in looking after the issue, the suspension of the president didn’t aid anything for the general body. In between, the treasurer is only looking after the official functions, which made things went unsettled.

As per Inside sport, it is learnt that the amount, rising enormously has reportedly reached INR 1,750 crores some time back and it continues to go up at a whopping ₹75 lakh per day

Meanwhile, it would be interesting to see how the board would cope up with the problem. Most Probably, they would like to settle the issue as quickly as possible in order to close the account of Kochi Tuskers Kerala.
