An external panel has submitted a report to BCCI over the dispute regarding CVC captains acquiring the new Ahmedabad franchise for IPL 2022. CVC Capitals had won the BCCI’s bid to form the new Ahmedabad franchise for the next season. CVC Capitals bid an amount of Rs. 5625 crores to grab the right of the new Ahmedabad franchise.

However, a dispute arrived soon over CVC Capitals’s alleged investment in betting companies outside India. The RPSG group, which won the bidding for the other new franchise Lucknow, was given a letter of intent immediately. For CVC Capitals, BCCI sought an opinion by a three-member independent external panel, which is headed by a retired judge of the Supreme Court Justice KS Radhakrishnan.

Independent Panel Gives Its Opinion To BCCI On CVC Capitals

Now, reports have arrived that the independent panel has given its option to BCCI over the dispute. On December 26, a meeting was held between Governing Council of the IPL and BCCI officials. During the meeting, the panel revealed their opinions on the matter.

However, BCCI and IPL officials have not revealed about the discussions. Although, some sources have said that the Radhakrishnan panel has cleared CVC Capitals’s participation in IPL 2021, a final verdict from BCCI is awaited.

“An opinion on CVC was sought by the BCCI. The panel has given its opinion. The committee’s involvement ended once the opinion was given. Now it is up to the BCCI to accept or reject it,” a source told Cricbuzz.
