Belagavi Panthers News

Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) treasurer Vinay Mruthyunjaya has confirmed that the next edition of the Karnataka Premier League (KPL) will be held only after the investigation into the multi-crore scam is complete. But Mruthyunjaya denied any connection between cheer girls and the KPL.

BCCI’s Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) chief Ajit Singh feels that there needs to be a complete reexamination of the ownership of franchises in state-run T20 leagues. However, he is against the idea of banning state-run leagues altogether in the attempt to wipe out the corruption in Indian cricket.

The outgoing administration of the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) has suspended the Belagavi Panthers franchise from the Karnataka Premier League (KPL) following their owner’s arrest on betting charges. Thara was also co-owner of the Kerala Knights franchise in the Abu Dhabi T10 league.

Belagavi Panthers owner Ali Asfak Thara, who also co-owns T10 League franchise Kerala Kings, has suffered the wrath of Abu Dhabi T10 League organisers and clarified that he is no longer a part of the tournament. The franchise was earlier owned by Shafi ul Mulk, Hussein Adam Ali, and Thara.
