Franchise Notes: IPL Side Kolkata Knight Riders Threaten To Pull Out Of IPL 8

Tabloids are "abuzz" that Shah Rukh Khan's Indian Premier League team Kolkata Knight Riders "has decided to pull out from IPL 8" if the Board of Control for Cricket in India does not "lift the ban on off spinner Sunil Narine this year." The BCCI had imposed a ban on Narine during the Champions League Twenty20 last year for his "suspected illegal bowling action" (DECCAN HERALD, 3/31). ... Georgia fears it will have to play September's Euro 2016 qualifier with Scotland "behind closed doors." Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Germany in Tbilisi was "twice interrupted by supporters invading the Boris Paichadze Stadium pitch." The Georgian Football Federation admitted to concerns that UEFA will "decide to shut the stadium" for the Sept. 4 meeting with Gordon Strachan's side. UEFA has "yet to announce" if it will be opening disciplinary proceedings (Scotland DAILY RECORD, 3/31).
