Shane Warne with officials of other T20 franchises.
The BCCI reacted cautiously to the Rajasthan Royals announcement of creating a global T20 alliance, with the Board's Chief Administrative Officer Ratnakar Shetty saying they would need the BCCI's permission if any of the Indian cricketers contracted with the board have to take part.
"Rajasthan Royals have not written to us and have not sought permission on this," Shetty told Times of India.
"In case the Indian cricketers, who are contracted with the board, have to participate, they'll have to seek our permission.
We have not heard anything from anyone as yet and the players can't take part unless we give them the permission." Rajasthan, however, said the IPL was in the know and they were confident there would be no conflict of interest with the league.
"The IPL has been aware of our plans and have been nothing but supportive.
We know exactly where we stand and there has never been an intention to create any sort of conflict with the BCCI," the franchise said..
