IPL playoff question mark over Chepauk - Times of India
"It's a regular meeting where the venues for the playoffs are decided. But there is some discomfort about awarding Chennai marquee matches. It doesn't make for good viewing. The broadcasters are not very comfortable with it. It's been nearly eight years and the host association has not been able to get a clearance," said a top BCCI official, on Sunday, reported TOI.
The three stands, which were renovated and modernised before the 2011 World Cup, were soon banned after it was discovered that they violate regulations. Post the orders of the Supreme Court, the stands were sealed by the Chennai Municipal Corporation. After the matches of the mega event in 2011, the stands have only been used once for the ODI between India and Pakistan in 2012, that too after a special permission.
