CSK, Royals not invited by BCCI

Management representatives of the Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals franchises have not been invited for the first round of discussions with the BCCI's working group that is in charge of studying the Lodha panel order relating to the IPL 2013 corruption case.

The owners of the franchises -- India Cements and Jaipur IPL Pvt Ltd -- had been suspended for two years by the panel in its verdict announced last month.

With the participation of the teams in doubt, the BCCI formed a working group on July 20 to study the panel's order and present its findings in six weeks.

ESPNcricinfo understands that the group will have one-on-one discussions with the IPL's stakeholders, including broadcasters, sponsors and the remaining six franchises over the week.
