Hampshire keep distance from Royals • Royals' IPL expulsion will not affect Hampshire• Partnership agreement remains unsignedHampshire insisted today that they will not become embroiled in potential financial or legal problems if the Indian board succeeds in its attempts to expel Rajasthan Royals from the Indian Premier League because of alleged ownership issues.Rajasthan Royals trumpeted the arrival of "the world's first global sporting franchise" when they announced their intentions in February to share players and profits and brand themselves with three other clubs worldwide, including Hampshire.But the grandiose plans, which have so far been slow to come to fruition, could collapse if the Board of Control for Cricket in India succeeds in its intention to expel Rajasthan from the IPL, a decision which seems bound to lead to extensive and costly legal action.Hampshire insisted today, however, that the final agreement has yet to be signed with Rajasthan Royals, which might leave them free to watch developments before deciding how to proceed.Hampshire's chief executive, Rod Bransgrove, issued the following statement. "Hampshire Cricket would like to make it clear that the club is aware of the matter and in communication with the Rajasthan Royals."The club has not yet signed final documentation in relation to the proposed commercial partnership with the Rajasthan Royals and is monitoring developments closely. There have been significant investigations since we made the announcement of our intentions eight months ago. We retain an open mind and our own due diligence has, to date, been satisfactory."Hampshire Cricket still hopes that the matter will be resolved in a satisfactory manner in order that the commercial partnership may proceed."However, Hampshire Cricket will ensure, before signing any final documentation with the Rajasthan Royals, that the club emerges from the deal with a clean sheet."Sean Morris, who resigned as the chief executive of the Professional Cricketers Association to become the chief executive of Rajasthan Royals, had envisaged a four-team Royals Twenty20 tournament at Lord's last summer. That idea was stillborn because of opposition from the England and Wales Cricket Board as it would have clashed with its own programme.HampshireIPLCricketDavid Hoppsguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
