BCCI may shift out Royals' IPL games



The beleaguered Board of Control for Cricket in India may force Indian Premier League franchise the Rajasthan Royals to move matches out of their home city of Jaipur in what could be a double blow for the former champions.

"RCA (Rajasthan Cricket Association) has been given time until Wednesday before BCCI decides to shift the matches out of Rajasthan," the newspaper report quoted Gujarat Cricket Association secretary Rajesh Patel as saying. "If they are allotted to GCA, we will be more than happy to host them."

The Royals have payment issues with the Rajasthan State Sports Council, which owns Jaipur's Sawai Man Singh Stadium.
